I didn't pin a snake for no reason. I'm very aware that I put myself in danger but that's a decision I was willing to make to hopefully help the snake. I didn't ask for your permission. I posted these pics so you can appreciate the snake not so I can get advice on what i should or should not do pertaining to an already past incident. Thanks for your concern. I wasn't asking how to handle a snake or even as to whether it is or was a good idea. Irrelevant due to the fact that my weekend hobbies don't include catching rattlesnakes. This was one isolated incident In which I felt I was doing a good thing. Moving the snake with a stick wouldn't have accomplished anything besides irritating him. If my goal hadn't been relocating the snake then i wouldn't have even gone near it. So thanks for dropping in to help identify the species but honestly your help probably should have just stopped there.
