Watch out for them rattlers! Haha

Yeah, I ain't opposed to to hunting for the sake of eating and using the carcass responsibly, but with the size of those babies I would assume they were killed specifically for that "joke" or else were part of a rattle snake round up, because they don't look like they were killed for food. A lot of people don't understand how vital these guys are to the environment and controlling the rodent population. Then Texas gets new outbreaks of hantavirus and geeeee I wonder why ever that could be! :rolleyes:

I thought the babies were fake at first, but if they are real, that's too bad. Around me we have so many rattlesnakes that people trim bushes a few inches off the ground so they can see any snakes hiding under them. I know several people who were seriously injured by rattlesnakes, especially young ones.
