I have a "pet" (but free roaming) Armadillo that is so old that it's hide is now faded and "pink". Armadillo's are fun to sneak up on them (they can hardly see but have quite a sense of smell and hearing) and then touch them on the back. They launch straight up in the air and take off like a rocket. All rattlesnakes I encounter DIE and are eaten by skunks, buzzards( in the summer) or hogs. The hogs are GOOD eating up to about 120 lbs. Way better than any other free roaming food stuffs.
