What part??? We got snow on new years like 8 years ago and everyone went nuts, only lasted a day though. I know Flagstaff gets hit occasionally but where I’m at its prob once every 20 years haha

Yeah lol I used to winter out that way often. One of my ‘exs’ , an Apache/Mexican lived on the res near Tempe. I used to go snake hunting in the high desert to take to Wyle Labs in AZ back in the late '70s. lol They paid $25 each for milking venom to produce snakebite serum. Then after awhile they paid $10 each to take em back and release. They chipped em so I couldn’t just bring the same ones back! :rofl:
I also did a winter as a slot tech in Vegas, left a half-step ahead of a ‘desert grave’ :rofl: :crazy_face: :laughing: :wink: :+1:

Oh nice! Ya we get the seasonal snowbirds that show up and make our roads a cluster fuck since most are seniors with no where to be. That’s pretty bad ass on the snake hunting though, I’ve never seen a wild rattlesnake in all my many years here, did a good thing getting the antivenom for ppl though! What casino were u working at? I work in Vegas setting up and tearing down the conventions. Prob haven’t heard of my Lil town but I’m sure u know of bullhead and Laughlin about half hour north from me

Banion’s Golden Horseshoe downtown
That’s what my ex’s brother did for his living and I went out a whole winter with him while I was there. It was a blast lol So after we split, I did it again one winter I think '80 it was
Yeah I’ve been through both of those towns
snake hunt for a week or so, then go into town, restock for the next trip out and party the rest off for a few days lol then repeat

It was good money, when you take in 100 or so snakes lol

Oh awesome! I’ve lost more money than I’d like to admit there! Did u ever have any close calls with some fangs for yourself? I don’t think I could do it, feel like it would be a twisted game of Russian roulette lol

Once you know their habits it’s easy to find them cuz lol They LOVE to get in those large Cholla Cactus clusters for the shade. Poke a long stick in there to stir em up then hook & bag em as they come out. I did get bit by a latecomer one time, but had serum

I was always looking around on walks in the desert!
