Doesn’t even have to be rattlesnakes. That many of any snake and that thing needs to burn.
Correct. I can only assume that many of even Garter snakes could take down an adult such as myself
Eh…catch and relocate. Snakes don’t bother me…been handling all kinds most of my life.
Yeah, I'm sure I can easily find a wildlife group that can come get them and take them somewhere that they can go on being snakes. I might not want them under my shed but I also don't think they need to die. They're still useful/beneficial.
I think I've told the story on here before about a friend who kept a rattlesnake in the bottom drawer of his dresser. Said it was his burglar alarm. He got hit on his fingertip by a baby copperhead. His arm got huge. Didn't change his behavior.
My aunt (no pics, and she's elderly) got bit by a copperhead when she was out gardening. She got a CareFlight helicopter ride to the hospital - otherwise she might not've made it.
The trouser variety was a favorite in my youth, though. Also handled diamondbacks, timbers, canebrakes, pygmies (the rattler variety), many copperheads, a moccasin (once). Of them all, the meanest sonofabitch was a black snake. Asshole bit me on my thumb.
