Two people in Edmonton have been charged after wildlife officials seized 12 rattlesnakes from a south-end home.
Alberta Fish and Wildlife Management raided a residence in the Huntington Hills complex last Friday where they found 12 live, Prairie rattlesnakes.
The pair are facing six wildlife-related charges, including possession of wildlife for the purpose of trafficking, unlawful possession of wildlife and unlawful sale of wildlife.
It has been illegal to kill, possess, buy or sell rattlesnakes in Alberta since 1997.
