This is Horrible

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I just wonder how many people have been bitten while trying to remove a snake from these things.
I am an avid field herper and spend many hours in the field each year, the majority of which are focused on finding Timber Rattlesnakes. In the last 5 years I have not had one of them offer to strike without me first messing with them (hooking them to move for photos) and many will not strike no matter how much they are messed with. There has only been one occasion that I stepped on one and it never offered to strike, just wanted to get away!

out of all of the snakes that I have kept and worked with there is only one that I have actively come after me and it was a forest cobra, not exactly the thing you have to worry about being in your yard.
 
We are the ones starting to develop the lands where all the reptiles and other animals are, so we should find ways to keep the animals alive and cohabitate with them. Rather than kill them off to make space for ourselves

I've messed with a few arboreal vipers that seemed to be plotting my death, but overall very few will strike before trying to get away (although some try much harder than others :thumbsup:)...
 
this is total crap. he is not worried about his family at all. he is worried about his wallet. he just wants to make money. he doesnt care who gets bit or how many snakes get killed. that story about moving to rattle snake ridge is a total crock!
he needs to get set straight

:iagree: As a father of two, if I was worried about snakes around my children and the overall safety for them....I would not move to a place called "Rattlesnake Ridge" That just seems like common sense.
 
Wow. So he takes commonly found plastic garden fence and uses it.....like a fence. Gee...I sure hope he has a patent for this ingenious, space age device.
 
am not 100% sure whats going on since my computer at my dads work dosnt have speakers... is he just trapping them and releasing them? (relocating)whats he doing that is wrong?
 
the way he has the fence it traps them, and kills them. no way to get them out.
