Coincidentally I was reading a book today and they mentioned that
there were 5 types of just Rattlesnakes in Utah so things could be
worse I guess..    B)

Apparently not. It doesn't look like temperature was the main thing
that caused their disappearance. The only place I saw mentioned in
Canada where they still have them was in Gaspesie National Park
in Quebec. A map of where they are found in the USA showed mainly
mid southern to southern states in the East half of the country
pretty much all the way up to the Canadian Border near the East coast.

Not shown in Florida for some reason, maybe the heat but they are
all over Texas so maybe not that..
