Re: Caught a Rattlesnake!!
I think that is the Northern variety of the Western Rattler, c.v. orgeanus as opposed to the southern c.v. helleri.
Cool snake but wicked venom.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

Re: Caught a Rattlesnake!!
Okay I'm not trying to be a wet blanket here. I really am looking to learn but is it a good or safe thing to pick up a venomous snake, take pictures, THEN ask what kind it is?

Re: Caught a Rattlesnake!!
My first guess is a N. Pacific as well.....those are plenty HOT and should not be kept by novice hot keepers.
Very nice find, bad idea if you kept it.

If I see a rattle I'm probably not messing with it.jk If I had a hook like he did and its small I'd probably pick it up just for the thrill.

Re: Caught a Rattlesnake!!
But what if it does get you Emilio? If you don't know the hots that are native to the area you live in, you aren't likely to know what to tell the E.R. Aren't anti-venoms pretty much specific to the type of snake that bit you? It's only after he's had that snake in his hands he's now learning it's very venomous....seems a bit late to know that as far as safety goes. Like I said, I'm just trying to learn here.
