The rains this past year have led to an explosion of growth, both vegetable and animal, especially with rabbits and snakes. Just recently a resident snapped this photo of a rattlesnake eating a rabbit near Tijeras creek elementary school.

This brings us to lifelong animal enthusiast Chloe Malone and her OC Urgent Snake Removal service. Basically, if you see a snake and are worried about it, contact Chloe and she will come and remove it and relocate it to a sanctuary she has specific access to. People are often startled and scared by snakes and will often hurt or kill them, but they are an important part of the larger ecosystem, so preserving them and finding a new location is a great alternative. You can find out more in the latest Good Morning Rancho on YouTube.
