For those of you that live in rattlesnake territory. Do you worry about a rattler getting in your outdoor enclosure? I’m assuming the effect of a bite would be similar in tortoises to that in mammals? In my experience, the snakes would rather avoid than engage (at least adult snakes) and tortoises are so slow I imagine they would not be seen as a significant threat. But I have enough around my place that I get my dogs vaccinated each April with the rattler vaccine. What methods have you used to prevent them getting in? They are so agile ...
