Rattlesnakes active once again
The rattlesnakes have awakened in Medicine Hat.
The snakes are a common sight in the region, living across the prairie and sheltering along rivers and under rocks.
In recent days, two people have posted to social media about their encounters with the creatures, one in Red Rock Coulee and the other along the Mr.Burnside trail between Redcliff and Medicine Hat.
Gary McFarlane was the coulee spotter, and encountered the rattler while making his way up from a low spot in the area.
