Recent eastern diamondback job. ruclips.net/video/rAcVZJ32tSE/видео.html
I was just in Florida (returned home today from there) and was at a beach that had gopher tortouses and there was a wooded area between the parking lot and the beach and I was hoping to see one.
They are fairly reclusive and hunt at night so seeing them in the open is not as common as you might think. They will come out during day to thermoregulate.
I'm from Tampa, just found one in the woods at a park off Morris Bridge. Beautiful snake very loud. Not aggressive at all but was very protective
They will aggressively defend themselves...but are not aggressive.
Glad they are still around. They are no longer common.
@@ILoveOldTWC no snakes are in urban areas.
@@TheTrapperGuy Well now they're gonna be even rarer because of the recent hurricane displacing them and people will kill them.
@@ILoveOldTWC unfortunately
They can swim and climb...Glad they can't fly. What kind of snake hook (length, thickness, solid vs. folding) do you use?
I use 40" Midwest hook...but mostly tongs. If you have to crawl under a house to get a rattlesnake....you don't bring a hook. Since I don't know what I'm getting into half the time....the tong is what I grab first.

Are they territorial?
That pattern is crazy on the Eastern Diamondback.
One of my favorite snakes.
Where in Hernando county can I find EDB's?
Almost anywhere. I used to spend tons of time in Chaz WMA but never saw one in there. I see a lot more EDBs than most people because people call me when they see them.
Sir you have balls of steel I would have shit myself if I ever saw one of those
Been catchin em since I was a kid. Just have to take em seriously.
Do eastern Diamondback rattlesnakes den together like other species of rattlesnakes ?
In my area...no. In central Florida no species of snakes den up...but you can find multiples in a suitable spot.
I am in NC. Have spotted water snakes, rat snakes, copperheads and rough greens on my property. However, no EDB’s. 😕
We have lots of them in FL
@@TheTrapperGuy I am thinking of building an enclosure, getting a license and anti venom.
Next would be a trip to Florida.
Very rare in NC. But the Sandhills in the south eastern part of the state have a few.
Down where I live in southwest Florida there are plenty.
I have seen a bunch down there also!
@@TheTrapperGuy You'll have to go to a place called Flint Penn Strand when you get a chance. I've seen alot out there.
I was in Southwest Florida this past week. Lely Barefoot beach in Bonita Springs, and in an area where it said "watched for gopher tortoises. There's wooded area between the parking lot and the beach itself.
Man you're crazy for picking that thing up!
Just a little bit. :)
@@TheTrapperGuy have you dealt with any boa constrictors 😮?
@@Twobarpsi In the wild not very many here. Usually just a pet that got loose. We are just above the subtropical line here so the exotic big tropical snakes do not breed well here. I used to have a pet red-tailed boa constrictor as a kid.
Can you tell me about the significant drop in their numbers? I hear they are losing their habitats and humans are persecuting them.
You basically summed it up. Their favorite habitat is also developers favorite habitat. They do adjust...but ultimately can't survive the shovel people kill them with. Add to the fact the Black Racers are most common snake (can out run the shovel) and eats their young.
@@TheTrapperGuy thank god for shovels and black racers!
@@landaulgosto3596 I don't tell anyone they can't kill a snake. If it is on your property only you can make the determination if it is justified.
@@TheTrapperGuy I thought it was just the eastern indigo that eat the bad snakes I saw a rattler in my yard today looked like a baby 10in or maybe a foot not sure what to do so I left him alone for now what do you suggest?
@@livegooddad Indigos, Kingsnakes and also racers eat venomous snakes. Leaving them alone is the best thing to do. If you have a dog or small children then you can call someone to get it the next time you see it. Training a dog to stay away from snakes can be difficult for most people...but anyone can teach children to keep distance from snakes. Snakes don't chase people.
Where do you run into them most in the wild?
I run into them in certain areas they do best in the highly urban area I am in (Tampa Bay). If you want to see them in the wild...look for flatwood pine habitat....or any area that has lots of gopher tortoises. Warm sunny days after a cold snap in winter are good times.
@@TheTrapperGuy Thank you! I hope to be able to spot more on my future hikes
Just make sure you keep your distance. Lol
@@TheTrapperGuy I look no touch, they're just one of my favorite animals and I would like to come across some more in their natural environment.
SAW ONE YESTURDAY ON MY PROPERTY IN OKEECHOBEE !!!
Probably have a lot down there. I used to go snake hunting and fishing in Moore Haven
If Triple H and Hank Schrader from “Breaking Bad” ever have a child, I bet it would handle diamondbacks on RUclips …. 😅
I have gotten the Hank comparison before. I will take the Trip H one...though I will need to get back to the gym. Lol
@@TheTrapperGuy you need to get to the plastic surgeon, the visual comparison w/ HHH is not a compliment, tbh :)
p.s. kudos for handling these beasts, I'd stay two continents apart from them.
@@triXtyle Lol
You shouldn’t hold the snake like that.. it looked like you were gripping it too firm
Looks can be deceiving. Firm...but not tight. It was 100 degrees out and I was covered in sweat. I have handle tens of thousands of snakes and never harmed one from handling.
Just saw a rattle snake in a clients crawlspace while checking the rat traps we had in there.
Yikes 😬 don’t know how it got in don’t want to try to take it out
Exclude the crawlspace and leave a one way door.
I thought the most dangerous was the Coral snake?
Coral has the most toxic venom but it is the the least dangerous venomous snake because of its shyness and difficulty in making a envenomated bite on people.
Poor delonia from kung fu she lost her life to a edbr
One of these met my 12 gauge last summer. Taking no risks
FLAT EARTHERs next thing you will be saying is that the sun is a corn flake
The trapper guy is mighty shaky he is also gripping the snake too tightly front and back
Lol. I have photo and video evidence of experience with EDBs going back decades. You?
I have been catching and handling venomous since 1969. You are a little too tight on the grip. You hafta be a little more gentle. That's all I am saying. I am not trying to put you down at all.
@@timothybarken8023 you can't tell how tight my grip is. My left hand is fairly loose. I do this for a living and after countless relocations of hots...never injured one and still have all my fingers.
@@TheTrapperGuy My mistake trapper gay
@@timothybarken8023 no problem troll barken.
I see them frequently hunting wild hogs for local farmers.
Just keep a sharp eye out when walking. Good advice when hunting even if there are no rattlesnakes.
One question are they bulletproof? If not we won’t have any problems they leave me alone or they get shot-simple
Since rattlesnakes don't offensively attack...then you never have to shoot one.
I thought the Mojave rattler was the most dangerous in North America?
Dangerous is a subjective term I used. Eastern Diamondback is the largest rattlesnake. Mojave has a more potent neurotoxin venom. Both need immediate attention and antivenom. I just based my claim on most deaths from snakebites come from EDBs.
@@TheTrapperGuy thank you for the reply.
@@loudstang2103 anytime!
Snake looks angery
Definitely not happy. lol
They get lead poisoning also
Haven't heard that.
Thank god at least 5 or the large landscape companies (mainly downtown and all of south tampa) DO NOT “relocate” them and they are “delt with”…. ZERO reason for something so dangerous be anywhere close to cities or humans! Bye Felicia!👎🏿👋🏼
Been handling or around rattlesnakes in Tampa bay area for 40 years. Never been bit or hurt by one.. Worst injury from any animal I have gotten is from a dog. Statistics show the same thing.
You look like your squeezing the poor thing. I know the strong but loosen the grip partner
It just looks like that in the picture. Every snake I catch gets released unharmed.
