NightSide - Are You On Board With Rattlesnake Island?
BOSTON (CBS) - A plan put forth by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife would turn an uninhabited island in the Quabbin Reservoir into a safe haven for an endangered species of rattlesnakes. But some say the plan makes their skin crawl when they think about the serpents (who can swim) getting off the island and potentially attacking hikers or others who get too close. Tom French, director of the project and Assistant Director of the Massachusetts DFW, joins Dan in studio to talk about why he believes these fears are baseless.
