Below are pictures of some common BENEFICIAL snakes seen recently
in the estates. They eat mice, rats, gophers and even rattlesnakes!
They are not dangerous to humans!
If you see one, just leave it alone and it will disappear to look for food.

Very Dangerous! - Harmful to Humans and Dogs!
If you hike our trails with your dogs, you might consider having your
veterinarian immunize your dog(s) with Rattlesnake vaccine. The
vaccine will not protect your dog from the rattlesnake venom, but If
your dog is bitten, you will have extra time to get help for your dog.
Please check with your vet for details.
