FIRST PYGMY RATTLESNAKE OF 2018

in #animals8 years ago

This was unexpected.


There I was, just sitting at my computer spending some time on steemit. Suddenly, Pinkie-Pepper burst through the door and shouted, "Pygmy Rattlesnake!" Soon, I was following her outside into the darkness, my adrenaline rushing and pulse pounding. Sure enough, there is was!

While these may be a beautiful snake with some amazing coloration, they are also a venomous snake and dangerous to interact with. That's why I relocate them further into the wilderness whenever we encounter them.

Last year, when @vcelier came down to visit, we even found a black one! We will see what happens this year, but we videoed me when I captured this one.

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

F that! Not gonna touch it

But you've got hands like a mantis!...

LOL! Hellz no!
And that may be true, but, I draw the line right there. I have complete respect for venomous snakes and I envy humans who are willing to catch them.

Found something you may be more comfortable with.... but I'll post it tomorrow night.

Where did you learn to catch these things? Just over time?

Ever get bit (poisonous or not)?

Just something I picked up over time. I have never been bit by a venomous snake.

If you want Rattlesnakes, come to Texas.
