Hello! My husband and I are purchasing 40 acres in Georgetown County SC. The previous owners have informed us that there are rattlesnakes on the property, and he showed us a 14 button rattle from one he killed recently.

I have two small children, and various pets that I am scared will think a rattlesnake would make a great friend...My father raises snakes, and I have NO desire to kill these snakes like the previous owner did. I also have NO desire to have a company come out and 'hunt' them down...if they leave us alone, and stay away from the area around the house, I fully intend to leave them alone too.

However, if one decides that my front yard looks like a promising place to sun itself, I would like to find a person, or company that will remove the snake...however, I want the snake relocated or kept alive in a collection, not killed. Does anyone know a private collector, or no-kill relocator, in that area that would be interested in being 'on call' in case a situation arises where we need a snake removed? Please let me know. Thanks so much!
Steph
