Western Diamondback Rattlesnake wakes up suddenly!
"Rattlesnakes use their rattle to warn others. They may rattle to indicate they are present so they won’t be stepped on, or they may rattle if cornered or harassed to warn that they may be about to strike." "Tail-rattling is mainly a defensive gesture; something they do when frightened."

The sad part is that you'll often still get bit if you don't see them right away and accidentally hop around while trying to escape...Maybe you accidentally step too close or step on them, and they get scared

Chris, My dog was walking a few feet in front of me and a snake about 4’ in length came out of a small bush about 20’ feet away. No rattling! It moved rapidly and it bit my dog on its hind leg. The snake went rapidly back to the bush. I looked at my dog and sure enough to puncture wounds. I went closer a few feet away from the bush and saw 2 snakes intertwined. I first thought they were mating, but they were very aggressive. I drew my hand gun and fired a round into the bush. They separated and both went down different gopher holes. The one that attacked my dog was half way down the hole as I shot it in the middle of its back. About 12 rattles and an evenly spaced black and white tail. Indicating it was a Western Diamondback. The other snake was longer with no rattles and probably what’s referred to as a Bull Snake. I rushed my dog to the vet and he recovered. A $2000 expense. They don’t always rattle.

I mean yes and no. Snakes are just smart enough to know that if they tangle with larger creatures, they are probably getting killed like most of the time so they prefer not to fight things they have basically no chance of eating. They also have to save up the venom for their actual prey so they don't starve, so the warning has a bit a double purpose. It is way of saying "I have a gun, don't make me use it, I got other problems to worry about."

I absolutely love snakes. They're so misunderstood, feared, and wrongfully reviled. My dad used to have a 13.5 foot female red-tailed boa constrictor named Cleo (I think after Cleopatra). The only word he ever used to describe her (even as she got older and more aggressive due to being handled so much) was sweetheart. He loved that snake. Unfortunately he left her with a friend to watch her while he was gone and the friend sold her. This was 21 years ago when I was 2. Cleo used to sneak out of her cage at night and curl up in bed between my mom and dad for warmth. Strangely my mom was never afraid of her, although she does have pretty bad arachnophobia.

"When you're a noodle with a head the world is a scary place." Yeah, as if the elaborate camo wasn't enough of a "leave me alone", they also usually give fair warning. The thing is, though, that in any fight between something like a human and a snake, the human is going to win. Yes, said human may or may not die later if the snake is venomous and managed to bite you but that is the last resort of the snake to save it's own life. Despite what folklore or religious symbolism might suggest snakes are not malevolent or even angry creatures, they're afraid of you and don't want to die.

@Bj Blanks it did. The rattler has pits located near their nostrils that pick up thermal heat from predators or preys in close proximity of it. All pit vipers have them including this rattler . That"s one early detection, the second thing that I noticed from this rattler that it was alert was it's tongue flicking in and out. Check it closely. When a snake sticks it's tongue out it's grabbing what's emitted in the air molecules around it and sending the info back from it's tongue to what is a jacob's organ located in it's mouth for smell of a prey or predator. Rattlers don't have keen vision therefore rely on smell and thermal heat signatures from prey or predator. Also note that most pit vipers like rattlers,puff adders and Gabon Vipers are ambush predators. Which means they don't chase after prey they wait for prey to come to them, envenomate them (inject venom in to their prey to neutralize them for pursuing and swallowing). Rattlers are bad asses, they give a lot of time and noise before they strike in most cases. Believe me it knew the threat and fired off a warning stance (the last one before biting).

@@xxscootalooxx4431I fucked up on two things. I looked at it again and didn't see it, I thought I did, nope, tongue didn't flicker. Secondly the puff adder is not a pit viper. The other stuff I wrote is on point but the tongue I thought I saw flicker didn't actually flicker until after. Good point.
When the snake got up so fast it made me jump man I wasn’t expecting that one bit lmao 🤣
Its funny how even they looks so cute when they are sleeping... 😅
Must be an older one to be sleeping so soundly like that. Never imagined snakes sleeping.

Meanwhile In Science If we killed them all, mice population would rise high. And I don’t think you’d like a mice infestation throughout your house because of it. Snakes are beautiful - yet deadly - creatures, and never aggressive. It is when you provoke that snake that it bites, and it bites if *really* needed to, seeing that a human being such as me and you are too big to swallow. Thus, it doesn’t label you as prey. So, it doesn’t want to waste its venom unless absolutely necessary which is, to a snake, a human being such as you provoking it. Many snakes are also harmless, such as milk snakes, corn snakes, ball pythons (they’re known to be the most docile snake), garter snakes (friendly and curious little sneks), water snakes, and more. You may want to kill them all, but in reality, these snakes are a massive part of the ecosystem, each serving a purpose to their ecosystems. Like wild snakes catching and killing mice, keeping the mouse population under control. Moral of the story? Don’t wish death upon a species.

@@foolspeedahead do you live somewhere where there's a lot of people? Overtime those snakes might've gotten used to humans. Where I used to live you saw them before you ever heard them, and with rattlers it's supposed to be the opposite. I think they got used to the previous owners who had kids that played in the creak all the time because those kids were taught how to handle a snake without having to downright run away. Our snakes only rattled if you got right up on their den or if you were about to step on one on the rocks. Otherwise they learned that seeing humans didn't mean humans were going to hurt them.

you'd be scared too if a sudden giant's face was in leaning towards you as soon as you woke up.
Not sleeping. Just very docile. Your lucky to get that close.
Holy shit! I think I'm as startled by it's reaction, as it is about the surprise!
From sleepingBeauty to Serial killer real quick
The sudden loud hiss sound before the rattle though. A scared snake is a terrifying snake. They're so quiet until you get close to one and every sound you hear next spells out 'suspense action movie scene' soundtrack.
That was one of the most badass things I think I ever seen ❤

Diamondback Rattlesnakes are always angry. And always ready to defend or attack. They only live to survive, eat , reproduce and attack. No emotion or bonding at all. Really an interesting species of snake. And if they get the chance to sink their fangs into and deliver a good dose of venom your gonna lose a limb. Or maybe die. Just leave them alone. They want no interactions with humans. They hate us.

Rattlesnakes have saved my life many times, by letting me know I need to back off. Fun Fact: Rattlesnakes never chase you, this is a story from guys that wet themselves while running away. Really, you can stand there & look at them for as long as you want. Don't get close, don't try to pick them up. You're safe.
Wow, nature is SO impressive!
I've walked up near one by accident. There isn't a more heart stopping sound or site to witness. Nature is kind when it warns you.
