I used to ride a motorcycle out in Utah's west desert. Several times I had encounters with snakes as large and very similar to what you are showing. Absolutely terrifying. You are right. The big ones wont try to escape. They will stand their ground.
Sir; you speak to the people not to the camera and Im really really really impressed with that and I know I’m just a guy who has my living with a guitar all his life but these creatures are to be respected and handled with the most courtesy as You demonstrate in your videos. Thank you!

Now this is absolutely phenomenal content. Calmly out in the woods instructing how to handle deadly snakes in the most laid back lackadaisical manner with tremendous charisma and skill.get this man a reality tv series and he will be that guy indeed .
Thank yo for this video. I was sitting here with my grandchildren and I really liked how slow and simple you explained. Great video to educate kids. The best.
You are an excellent instructor and storyteller! My first boyfriend, Joe Branham, did this back in the 70's. He became the head of the herpitarium (sp?) at the Oklahoma City zoo. It takes a real man to do this!
True 77 hahaha OMG I luv this comment. He def has that low calm soothing voice like Bob Ross. I luv watching him paint. I still watch his old painting videos on RUclips. I would've never thought of that unless you said it! Hahahaa....Tap,tap,tap...a little tree here, a little tree there.. remember this is ur world and u can make it however u want. There are no mistakes, just happy accidents!
Man, being in the woods and hearing those rattles and not being able to see the snake or tell where the rattling is coming from is probably the scariest experience I've ever had in the woods. Sometimes in thick brush they rattle so loud you think you're surrounded.
@Koletti Pireaus That's my point., you can't move away from it if you can't tell where it's coming from. You just have to stand still until the snake decides to move on. I've had this happen on more than a few occasions and it's scary as hell. Anyone who has experienced it will know exactly what I'm talking about. Me and a friend of mine were walking through some thick brush once and had one go off and neither of us could tell where the rattling was coming from because it was so loud it sounded like we were surrounded.
Yeah, I was in Illinois near a known snake refuge (an old abandoned house), and they had these water pumps between the cabins. I was walking between the cabins and one of those pumps went off, sounded like a rattlesnake, at least to me. Man, I was looking at every leaf and twig trying to figure that out.
I was afraid of scorpions and the dark. Then, I went out on a scorpion hunt in the middle of the night, and in the middle of the desert. I got addicted to the night and I love scorpions, now. And, it all started when I took a very close look at an Arizona Giant Hairy Scorpion.
watched this guy's videos a handful of times....everytime I see his videos, can't help but notice he has all his fingers in every video. taking notes from the master
adfash I wish there where more people like you........ rattler having a hard time because of those stupid roundups and killings. Greetings from the Netherlands
That snake is a lot "more calmer" than any of the timber rattlers I've dealt with here in TN. Grab one of them by the tail and it goes berserk like a rubber band coming unwound. For whatever reason, the snake on this video was a LOT different than the ones here. Wonder why? Great video. Thanks for posting! The shirt was awesome to!
I suspect he sits down next to them, smokes a joint and blows the smoke in their face. When he's done turns the camera on and does just what we watched. He was way too calm for what he was just doing.
Nice. Did anyone else have to go back to his beginning talk and check to see if that snake was already coiled up behind his leg while he was sitting there?? I did!
Oh damn man. I just stumbled upon this channel. This guy is like the noble good humble twin of Tiger King. Thanks for this video sir. Appreciated your candor and cadence.
1:47-2:00 is good wedding night advice. Favorited for review in a few months. "Usually we can just go right in, and actually even tease.... up in 'ere."
I don't call too many folks my hero or shero but you sir is all of the above and more. Very educational. I try to stay as far away from all snakes. Looking at them give me the heebie jeebies. Great video!
I had two brother-laws, one who had grown up in town, and the other had grown up on the St. Francois River in South Missouri. The one from town was scared of snakes. He went fishing one night in a boat with the one who had grown up on the river. Later he told us " I looked behind us and here was 50 snakes staring at me!" " I told Larry we needed to get out of there and all he did was say " If you'd quit shining that light around you would not even know they were there." I don't think they caught any fish that night. Too much noise was being made. The snakes always seemed to avoid my BIL striking at them with an oar. BIL#2 kept telling him to ignore them but he would not listen.
Dude: I saw several opportunities for that snake when you were looking at the camera and he was spread on the rock, to double back and take you out, as they are well able to do. There's a first & last time for everything.
It prolly like every other dangerous thing...you can do it 999 times and never have a problem and then? You get one of those " that NEVER happens!" things and you have a story to go with traumatic memory about how something happened that normally NEVER EVER happens...I got to get me some snake tongs! And a stick and a BAG! lol
If he got bitten. there would likely not be a video, but I would like to think if he was bitten he'd be prepared for the emergency, but people like him tend to get overconfident(Steve Irwin for example). I wouldn't be surprised if he's been bitten before. If heard many snake authorities say an untreated rattlesnake bite is usually not fatal to an adult, especially a male, but can cause serious damage, like loss of fingers, limbs etc, depending on where bite occurred. Personally, I'd never get close to one if those things if I can help it.
Absolutely fascinating! I had a rattlesnake in my backyard the other day (I live in Arizona). I was using the Weed Whacker and I guess I woke him up. He took off in the other direction, then curled up under a nearby tree. When I checked later, he was gone, and I figure that since I've already knocked out most of the weeds, he's probably visiting my neighbor.
Wow, just found this video and your calm, careful approach is really well done. Nice to see a real snake handler and not one of those videos where the snakes gets antagonized into an aggressive defensive state.
I stepped over a baby rattlesnake, so I'm glad there's someone who knows how to bag them. I've eaten them, don't care for them much either way @ all. No roadkill for me, thank you very much.
I really appreciate what this man does and the calm patient way he goes about this dangerous business. But I really hope he has some anti venom close . Not sure If I’ve ever , ever known a snake handler - even the very best- that didn’t get hit a few times at least . Those daimond backs have a very deadly bite. I knew of a drunk fellow in town that tried to pick one up and it nailed him several times. He was in ICU for like two weeks in a coma, the nurse told me he came a gnats toe nail of dying and they had to import anti venom from neighboring states. My understanding is a daimond backs bite is much more deadly than a copper head or a cottonmouth. Didn’t know that for years,
Wow! You sir are a master of your craft! That was one humongoid snake!! What becomes of them? are they farmed? Milked? sold to zoos? do They have more snake proff bags like kevlar? Very cool! Thanks! Masterful!!!
@@SawyersHerpetology in my part of NM we get 6 n half-7ft western diamondback rattlers fatter than your arm regularly during late summer ! You look you will find !
Jason Smither im no expert but that bag was loosely wrapped and then walk out with it over the shoulder not being able to see the snake.that didn't make any sense.
it may have been from when the snake bit itself(assumming it was indeed blood, and was from this particular encounter and not a previous one.) just throwin it out there.
We had these in pennsylvania mountain. Those were timber rattlers. We had several as large or larger than this one. Pa ones were black and gold in color. We never did get close to any. We had cut the grass one time and raked it into piles. Next day were loaded the piles in wheelbarrow to dump them. Somewhere while puck up piles with hands i went to dump a load and had 2 timber rattlers over 6ft. In wheelbarrow. They had hid in the grass piles overnight. Lucky day that day for me. How i did not get bit was still amazing.
This is the first RUclips video I’ve seen where the snake was the actual length described in the title and not 2’ shorter. For tying the bag off, I use the plastic spring loaded woodworking hand clamps from harbor freight. You can carry one on the shaft of the snake tongs where it’s readily available when needed.
I'm not much of a snake guy. but that's a big beautiful rattlesnake. I just seen one just the other day on my way home from a day out of the water. My brother wanted me to run it over, but I stuck to my guns and said no to him. I got out of my truck and gently clapped my hand and it slowly moved of the dirt road and back into the weeds. Note it wasn't as big as this one like it just 3 to 4 small rattles.
For any future trappers out there. Once I started my little trapping business, I went to the paint store and bought a few empty five gallon paint buckets, and drilled them full of holes. Place a few inches of sand or stones in the bottom for ballast, and no helper needed. The lids stay solidly in place as well for transporting. 🤩
This guy is just flat out likeable. The world needs more videos with him.
100%. He’s calm, speaks gently, and works delicately
Definitely a master handler. A master handler respects the animal at all times and knows the concept of pressure and release.
"You should never do this alone", next sentence, "Now when you're trying to do this alone..." LOL

Just because you shouldn't do it doesn't mean you won't do it so I might as well tell you what to do should you do it.

Place a few inches of sand or stones in the bottom for ballast, and no helper needed. The lids stay solidly in place as well for transporting. 🤩
Do rattlesnakes lik to be petted
No
+Terrance Mooselips Yes, they love to cuddle, too. You can train them to sit up and beg. Cobras are good at that.
Yes they do. That way they can strike you with a venom that can cost you life or limb.
Of course. Especially Black Mambas and Inland Taipans.
Common knowledge dude.
Terrance Mooselips idk you should try it sometime. Come back and tell me how it all worked out for you.

Great information brother. We live in northern East Colorado out here on the flats in the summertime. Rattlesnakes are an issue.
Y'all ever heard of a 12 gauge
Hey Tim, would you mind sharing the purpose behind catching & bagging this rattlesnake?
