One of the things about living in arid, northern Mexico is that it's the natural home of the rattlesnake. We have several species of rattlers - Diamondbacks, Sidewinders, and Timbers to name a few. We've had our run-ins with rattlers (Jackson walked right over this one on our front sidewalk in 2006) and we even once found one in the desert and ate it. So it wasn't a big surprise when one of my Bible School students brought me this snakeskin he found while on work detail the other day. The piece he gave me is a little over three feet long and appears to be only half the snakeskin! In it's widest part you can place a U.S. dollar bill! So this beast is still at large and living very close to where we live, work and play!
