My dad just told me that New Mexico is full of rattle snakes and that people will try to shoot me.
LOL! I heard that when I first moved there 40+ years ago. While I’ve seen a few rattlesnakes in my life, none of the ones I encountered were in ABQ. Mostly they were up in the wooded backcountry areas of the National Forests. Rattlesnakes tend to avoid people and places people frequent.
But if you really want to see a live rattlesnake, you could go to reptile house at the zoo or to the Rattlesnake Museum.
The campus area is very safe. So just promise your dad you won’t go shopping for meth in the wrong part of town after sundown.
Remember Breaking Bad is fiction not a documentary.
