Healdsburg, CA
This rather nice looking rattlesnake was spotted sunning itself early in March outside of a pumphouse in Healdsburg. Shortly thereafter, the rattlesnake was seen crawling under the floor of the pumphouse. We were able to pull up a couple flooring boards to safely remove the rattlesnake, from the spot seen in this photo. The snake almost certainly spent the winter under the pumphouse floor, as it stayed dry & relatively warm through the winter.
