Episode Details

A rattlesnake took a nap on the sidewalk outside Auntie’s Bookstore in Spokane, turning a quiet bookstore day into a tense wildlife emergency. Staff scrambled to keep people back while calling for help—finally connecting with a snake enthusiast who safely relocated the reptile. Experts like Hunter Sheffield warn that while rattlesnakes are a rare downtown surprise, the bigger threat is people mistaking harmless gopher snakes for venomous ones—and killing them. The takeaway? If you see a snake, don’t touch it. Leave it alone. You might just save a life—or avoid a bite.
