Western Diamondback rattlesnake!!!! A live one at that. It was in a computer
case I left outside for a while, when I went to move it, I heard something inside.
I would say the snake was more surprised than me, luckily the rattler was more
interested in putting distance between me as I was between it.
  I have been a lot more careful in handling and storing things that have been
left outside the house, either in the shed, or under the carport/tarp. (I have
computer stuff "stashed" all over the place.) Next to the black widow spiders,
vinegaroons and the scorpions, storing computers in the Sonoran desert can be
quite an adventure.


Cheers

Tom
