Wildlife Biologist Todd A. Hoggan identified the snake Steve brought to the Town Crier office (the snake is the same as in the photo accompanying this article) as a Southern Pacific rattlesnake. “It’s the time of year. You’ve got to be really careful where you put your hands, where you walk,” Hogan said. Kathy Keane is working to develop a local foundation to raise funds to purchase and maintain a local supply of the CroFab antivenin (appropriate for treatment of a Southern Pacific rattlesnake or a Mojave green bite), as well as training for a local person to administer the vaccine.
