I like finding timber rattlers around here. Most locals freak out, scream and shoot it. I just go observe like a nature documentary, until the Rattlesnake gets abboyoed by my presence and leaves. (They always leave, if unprovoked)
The people that attack and provoke them are more likely to get bit, than a casual peaceful observer.
But we as snake keepers know that, and most do not.
