RATTLER SCARE

Unwelcome visssssitor at Lethbridge university

May 9, 2019 | 10:31 PM

The University of Lethbridge had an unwelcome visssssitor this week — a rattlesnake managed to fall through a grate and into an office.

The school called in professional snake catcher Ryan Heavy Head, who took only a few seconds to corral the wayward reptile.

The rattler was placed in a box and released nearby outside, all while making its tell-tale sound.

Heavy Head says the young snake probably slithered out of its den near the building.
