# Just thought I’d share my Rattlesnake! I’ve had this plant for about…

Just thought I’d share my Rattlesnake! I’ve had this plant for about 16 years (when I was only 17). Got it from the grocery store as a tiny baby. It closes up every night and the leaves move and make noise during the day. It’s truly a member of the family 😁

Wow! So pretty! Mine is pretty small now. I know I got it at Trader Joe’s but I don’t know how long I’ve had it. Maybe a year.
