rattlesnake aversion training in southern california

[findthebirdie]

Can anyone recommend a rattlesnake aversion training company in Southern California? Was looking in to "Natural Solutions" but the only review not endorsed by the company is negative.

Thanks

I think we have used him and he came to our house and worked all the dogs. I don't remember the name but reading that he uses falcons for bird control at certain locations rings a bell.... Good guy, professional, did a good job.

You can also PM brad27 on this forum. He can point you in the right direction of someone else.

What rattlesnake is the really nasty one in SO CAL?

[brad27]

mojave green rattlesnake.

[mcbosco]

yes, that is one with no anti-venom, i believe

[brad27]

They have an antivenom. What makes the mojave green dangerous is the venom is a neorotoxic venom as opposed to the normal hemotoxic venom.

not to mention that the mojave greens seem to have a a real attitude problem. The normal rattler tries to get away if at all possible, the mojave green stands it's ground or even becomes aggressive. If I was still in SoCal, I would definately be looking to avoidance train for them!
