It is rattlesnake season in San Luis Obispo County. After a bite at El Chorro Dog Park, rangers are warning visitors to beware of rattlesnakes.

A ranger was unsure if a rattlesnake bit a dog or a person.

Rangers posted several signs warning visitors that rattlesnakes are “present and active, enter at your own risk.” Another sign asks visitors to give the venomous snakes respect and distance.

Rattlesnakes can strike from a distance of more than 5 feet.

Ell Chorro Dog Park is located of Highway 1 across from Cuesta College.

If it’s near me or mine, I kill it. Not sorry.


Almost every other snake specie does the same job of eating rodents, and DON’T present a very hazardous and painful danger.

Rattlesnakes are cool. I offer free rattlesnake flags here:

(Cool because they provide fair warning. Usually. Unless they’re stepped on.)

As put succinctly on Hee Haw…”Saaaaa-loot!”
