Ohio community on alert for rattlesnake

People in one northwest Ohio community are being warned about a rattlesnake that's still on the loose after a pair of rattlers disappeared from a home earlier this week.

I've never understood why anyone would want to keep a poison snake of any kind in their home. What good is a poison snake? Its not something you play ball with. How is this owner going to feel if a child gets bit? People needs to think about things like this before they get a dangerous....shall we say Pet??

Continental is for the most part farm community. Good luck finding the 2nd snake if residence is actually outside of town, nothing but flat open farm land with railroad track cutting it in half.

Parents live 2 maybe mile outside of town currently on the state route.

I would rather have a rattle snake than the women I am married to. : )

I agree with Dora. Why would anyone want to keep this typr of reptile or any other wild animal. The owners should be faced with a very stiff penilty.

Dora,
The same reason people want pit bulls, it hides their inner yellow streak.

Maybe they should call Jeff Corwin.
