Growing up in Queens, NY in the early 1960',s as a less than teenager, the
neighbor kept rattlesnakes, and other exotics in his garage. He became a
well known vet in Berkeley CA, and an Alaskan Malamute breeder. One of our
officers knows this fantastic person, Charlie B. We sometimes saw Timber
Rattlesnakes in CT's Northwest corner while hiking the rocky ridges above
the Housatonic River valley.

I kept some when I was in my teens. Some were delivered (by railway

railway express man handed her the little wooden box, he asked her "Lady,
do you know what's in this box?"Maybe she thought he was teasing.
In today's pervasively paternalistic state, it's hard to imagine kids (or
grandmothers) having that sort of experience. Jim McKenney
