There are three different types of rattlesnakes in SoCal that I'm familiar with. I take it, thats a Copperhead?

I live in an urban area but have a large open space canyon behind the house where all the critters live from possum, rabbits, quail, rats, and rattlers to control the rats and other small furry animals. Occasionally the rattlers slither into the yard and sun theirselves on the patio or in the garden. Fire department is just down the street. We give them a call, they arrive with their 'Homer' bucket, pick them up and redeposit them back into the canyon usually behind the firehouse.

Last month a surfer got bit several times by a rattlesnake at the beach of all places. He wasn't expecting to see a snake there.

When they get three to four foot long, I let someone else move them.
