Several venomous rattlesnakes were found in two Rockland County towns over the weekend.

Ramao Police said that the first call came from a home in the Ladentown neighborhood, when a snake was spotted near a resident�s pool. Responding officers said that it apparently �molted prior to lounging in the sun.�

According to police, the second snake was found in the front walkway of a residence in Sloatsburg. Officials said that both snakes were able to be safely relocated and have since been relocated to a �more suitable, less populated area.�

Ray Hartley, of Intrepid Wildlife Services, says it’s important to keep children and pets away from the potentially dangerous and deadly rattlers. He must use special gear whenever relocating a snake to a new location.

Anyone who believes they’re in danger is urged to call police or animal control for help.
