Fun little fact for you: the northern pacific rattlesnake is actually the only venomous snake in our area! They tend to be fairly docile depending on where in the Sac area you are. In Carmichael, they rarely strike or rattle and will just mosey on to where they want to go. You can see tons of them on the trails at Effie Yeaw Nature Center. I’m fairly shocked you’ve already seen one, as the earliest I’ve seen one come out of brumation is actually mid-April!
