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.
