Coming home from active duty in California, I picked up 4 or 5 sidewinders on the road in the Mojave Desert to bring home to show my friends. At night they crawl out on the road for the heat since they're a cold blooded animal. I had already figured out how to grab them and threw them in a styrofoam cooler I had bought along for that explicit purpose when I saw them on the drive home. When I got home my friends were impressed, but my grandmother got really upset afraid they would bite me and I chopped them up with a hoe to put her at ease. She loved me a great deal as I did her. :)

We would take a jar with a lid (holes punched in the top for air) and catch them that way. I also loved catching garter snakes and petting them. I got over all of that when my neighbor's mother made us stick horses.

Playing "Indians" in the woods was fun too. We'd use spear ferns as weapons. ;)
