The Lethal Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Real Wild

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

The deserts of America‚ South West are home to the most notorious of all snakes - the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. These are just one of a whole range of rattlesnakes living in the Americas, some large, some small, but all with a unique warning rattle at the end of their tails. This film explores the world of these extraordinary serpents, as well as following one female diamondback through an eventful year.

    What about the one's you were talking about in Arizona that are becoming extinct? What if I volunteer to go get them and move them to another place, I catch them and keep them for a few years while keeping them fed well and watching them giving birth, I've had over 300 babies born in my snake pit within a week then I release them back where I got them from, and I do it just because I've always been fascinated with the rattlesnakes

    @ms. will always love my life Snakes have just as much right to live as any other animal does. If you remember correctly, animals were here first, we moved into their homes. They do control rodents *better* than any other animal and play an important role in the environment both as predators and prey for other animals that eat snakes. The best tool against fear of snakes is education. Learning more about these fascinating animals may just help lessen your fear. I suggest joining Wild Snakes; Education and Discussion or joining LIVE Snakes; Identification and Discussion. Both of those Facebook groups will help you learn more about them and how to coexist with snakes as people have been doing forever. Don't join if you don't want to learn and try to work on your fears. Talking about killing snakes is the quickest way to get booted. There are almost 60,000 members who want to learn and many have gone from hating/fearing or even killing snakes to now appreciating them as part of the world and even their neighbors they now enjoy seeing. Snakes aren't out to get you, there is zero benefit to them interacting with humans since they usually would just end up killed. They just want to be left alone to live in peace, same as we do. If they are messed with, they will first try to flee and only defend themselves as a last resort. Try one or both of the groups, what do you have to lose except fear and ignorance ? Hope to see you there 🙂

    Despite a few minor inaccuracies, like stating that snakes "unhook" their jaws or are completely deaf, the documentary was well-shot and didn't resort to fear-mongering. I also like how they called out the cruelty of rattlesnake roundups. The pro-conservation message was also appreciated.

    Snakes dont warn us. It's a misunderstanding. Lots of snakes ,as a nervous reaction tail flick when feeling threatened, feeding or other times of excitement. If we hear the rattle we should be warned concerning a potential strike but the animal itself is not trying to communicate a warning. I dont believe that. Its nervous system is simply causing the shaking. I like so many keepers have had literally hundreds of snakes, including the babies and have arrived at this conclusion through experience. Even the so called experts such as Austin Steven's etc, are wrong about this. But yes, I u understand your point it's a defensive reaction and we should be aware and respect that.

    When I lived in California, I saw several rattlers in the wild. The most common was the western Pacific diamondback, a few timber rattlers at higher elevations, a sidewinder or two, and one Mojave Green. I even once saw a pink rattler, I forget the species, shown by a herpetologist at a presentation at a USFS site on Hwy 2 in the San Gabriel mts. I've never been afraid of rattlesnakes, but I have a very healthy respect for the damage envenomation can do. I've seen the result of a rattlesnake bite when a friend was bitten on the thumb. So, I've always respected their space, and found when you make no sudden or aggressive moves near them, they'll usually calm down and tolerate observation. If you get too close for their comfort, they'll let you know!

    I've learned a lot about rattlesnakes since moving to Texas. How to identify them from other snake's was first 😮. I do encourage roadrunners to visit by leaving water out for them 😅 They do eat mice and ground squirrels which like to chew on the wiring in your vehicle. Kinda freaked me out the first time I saw one swimming in the lake 😮 and they don't always rattle. They're evolving in order to protect themselves. They do harm livestock my neighbors lost a bull to a bite, not to mention dog's.

    One time I was searching under huge rocks for arrowheads etc. I walked up to the next group of giant rocks and turned to the left and there were rattle snakes all around me. I apparently couldn't hear the rattle because of the wind blowing and not having very good hearing. I almost panicked and took off running when I realized I had better calm down or possibly get bit. After I was done screaming I took a deep breath and walked out of there. I have never been back.

    Most bites occur either because the person was trying to interact with the snake or because they panicked. Snakes are nervous creatures that just want to be left alone. Quick, jerky movements are likely to draw a strike. Remain calm, identify the snake’s precise location, scan for others in the area, and slowly walk away.

I have seen some kind of a hybrid Mojave Green Rattlesnake that was nearly 6 ft long, twice the length of a normal Mojave Green. It had NO RATTLE!! Not broken off rattle, but NO rattle. Knowing how deadly Mojave Greens are, and no rattle, really gave me creeps!

Additionally in the 15 or 20 minutes it took to get him to a hospital with antivenom his arm was swollen to almost twice it's size A few weeks later the injured arm is still damaged and healing but with residual pain.

    I love snakes. I fear death so I keep my distance from venomous ones since I respect them and love them that much. I am always feeling a shiver down my whole body when I hear the rattle in person. It scares me almost but I am thankful that I've never been bitten by a rattler.

There where of Rattlesnake copperheads and of a cottonmouth now and then few of them but of one now and then .as i said...the most i had ever seen of at one time was when they where cutting of right away for the RxR in ..there was a rock that they had pushed out good size one was it but of about that of 150 snakes where there behind that of it all.den up for the winter. What was funny ..you could pick of one up it was like some rubber one .they had of a fire to help keep them warm and you could put of one there next to it and in a few minutes it would come alive.

That was in the 40s but i recall of them saying that no one did much hunting on that side of the mountain because they where of so thick on that side. I can understand of why after seeing of them that day.
