I’ve never tried smoking rattlesnake before, but welcome anyway! ?
I’m almost afraid to ask about the tongue bite but I’m guessing they don’t require much dry time.

...and nearby Biosphere...right? I toured the Biosphere (Bio-Dome) about 15 years ago. Anyway, welcome to the forum.
Welcome, Ben! I'm just a couple of miles away from you in Casas Adobes (near Shannon/Overton), and I did indeed see a Rattlesnake in your fair city the last time I rode the Tortolita Preserve trail.
No joke. Last summer I was grilling. I opened the patio door to go check on the meat and stepped right on top of one of these guys, full grown and all (maybe 4-5 inches across). Of course I was barefoot! I think he was just as surprised as I was, and fortunately he seemed ok. Now I always, ALWAYS look before I step in the state of Arizona.
Caught that one in Yuma with a friend who was hunting gila monsters.

Welcome from Phoenix. Go Cats! This little guy just slowly moved of the trail as I slowly rode by 
Rattlesnakes are f'n rad. Pisses me off that they round them up and kill them in some places. Pipe smokers are just alright.

It's the scorpions in the shoes that worry me. I had a stove infestation of tiny ants this morning. I swiped them down with a sponge and plopped them in soapy water. Murderer. Put out the ant traps. Some singer was famous for talking to ants and getting them to leave the house. Those little devils can bite. Not fire ants, luckily, or I'd be screaming.
We've got them in Kentucky too, little pests can be annoying. The older folks called them "stinging lizards" when I was a kid.
