--- couldn't get it to click over???? You Might have to copy and paste the link. Here is part of what it says. ---You will find Canada's only desert in the area extending from Osoyoos Lake to Skaha Lake and then westward up the Similkameen Valley towards Keremeos. The desert is approximately 15 miles long. The average rainfall is less than 12 inches per year and summer temperatures can rise to over 100 degrees. It's a little known fact that this desert extends right through the US and into the Sonoran Desert in Mexico. The plants and animals are found no where else in Canada. I suppose that it depends on what "desert" means. Some other sites claimed that Canada has no deserts. A GOOGLE search for Okanagan Valley BC will bring up a lot of information about the area. However I did not find any other reference describing it as a part of the Sonoran Desert. I believe that the "Sonoran Desert" is a geographically described area of the Southwesern U.S. and parts of Mexico- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoran_Desert . Also see- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_American_deserts . But, let's get back on the subject of snakes.

OK, now that we got that right! I always tghought it was a black rat snake. Someeone told me that they don't grow over 6 ft., which this one was, and that it had to be an Indigo, which I've never seen one. This one was well over 6 ft. and payed $135. to remove it plus do the seal up!

Lt. Grey, remeber all the old westerns when they would talk about high desert and high desert plains (which is where the scrub and trees would grow). An example is Santa Fe NM at 7,000 feet about sea level it is "high desert" and norther Santa Fe is " high desert plains".
I don't know what the elevation in BC is but if these plants and critters can live in Santa Fe, I would imagine they would live anywhere with similar conditions.
I bought a hat band from a guy and it was a green rattler that the guy called a "plains rattler". Is this what is found around the Dakotas and BC?
I don't see much in a state where I never half to worry about looking before stepping over a log goin to a beaver [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot] in shorts and sneaker to trout fish. But I watch for them when I'm out west or in MO.
Teach a kid to hunt, shoot, trap and fish.

I've been to the desert at high noon... There aren't any rattlesnakes out at that time. They're all in some rock crevis' some where in the shade, which if I'd had any sense, would have done likewise!
