Well here I was thanking God I've only found your typical critters like Mice and birds in the skimmers. I was out helping one of my fellow workers on some pools since I got done a little early. We got more than we barganed for! I started cleaning the skimmers while the other guy skimed the pool. The second skimmer lid I poped open had a baby Rattle snake under it!! I wasn't to for sure if it was dead and really didn't want to find out. The other guy desided he would reach in and yank the skimmer lid out with a simmer plug..it's got a handle and so did the skimmer basket. Right away you could tell the snake was a live as soon as we put it down. The snake was a little water logged so it didn't snap at us or run away at first. My partner desided he would play with it a while and then the snake jumped at him and we almost landed in the pool lol The snake ran off after that and we name saw it again....I hope LOL.
This isn't just a job, It's an adventure:D
