After several close calls I bought a pair of knee high snake boots. They work great and I'm very happy because I havent seen a snake since buying them.
I'm 64 got bitten by a copperhead last August 2020 most of venom on outside my arm felt a little sick to stomach and my eyes got a little blurred didn't last long felt I would be OK didn't go to hospital. .1 week later I had a serious heart attack do to blood clot to heart...Doctors gave crap for not going to hospital..
So true. The snake was doing what snakes do. Picked up a heat signature of the sleeping puppy and hunted it the same as it would a squirrel. The puppy is now 3 years old and loved very much by his family.
@@redtailgoldenretrievers Yeah, not hunted like a squirrel. The puppy was 10 times the size of a squirrel and snakes don't see anything bigger than their natural prey as "prey". They will bite first and ask later.
@@vsnutz not so. The angle of the young sleeping puppy presented head first, that’s not vey big at all. As a herpetologist put it when consulted, snakes have a brain the size of a lentil, it is not uncommon to find one trying to eat something too big. Sometimes they die trying to eat something too big. This was simply a case of mistaken identity.
Line the play area with 1/4" hardware cloth. It needs to be embedded into the soil slightly. If you use 1/2" it won't keep juveniles from getting in. I am glad the pup is okay. Oh, how I love golden retrievers!
@@redtailgoldenretrievers Absolutely, here where I live is dense with rattle snakes so first things first...run snake patrol every twenty minutes or so and listen to the dogs.
Exactly!! Video should be titled snake whose area is becoming overpopulated by human greed and excess has unfortunate encounter and most likely ended up dead
This was in a children’s personal playground all the talk and comments one reads or watches on YT about good rattlesnakes is bunk . If if a person gets bitten by one it’s 60 to 100 thousand dollars for antivenin treatments . If a child had gone to play in the playground and was bitten it probably never would have survived.
Never listen to anyone who says venomous anything can't hurt you. It's true that snakes have different temperaments than each other but venomous breeds are always dangerous.
I kill every snake I've ever ran into, that's been alot, just did a cottonmouth last week, 10ft away from my puppy. Cut his damn head right off. Nasty bastards they can be...
Rattlesnakes don't hunt things as large as that puppy. It probably smelled the puppy, detected it's heat and went to investigate and startled each other which the snake used it's only defense
I don't believe this was a predatory attack. The snake just happened to be going that way and came into contact with a sleeping pup. The puppy may have woken up and startled the snake and was bitten. I'm glad the pup is going to be ok. I suspect the snake gave a low dose of venom.
The snake was hunting. The puppy was sleeping. The amount of venom delivered was enough to kill. Snakes don't waste venom. Snakes have to eat too. Sometimes they go after something too big. A curled-up puppy puts off a heat signature not too different than a squirrel. As a herpetologist for the state put it, a snake has a brain the size of a lentil, they bite off more than they can chew sometimes.
It was a defensive bite, you can see the dog moving around right before he is bitten. The dog most likely startled the snake and was bitten. Both were probably under there at the same time sleeping and didn't notice each other until the dog got curious and spooked it. That or the Snake was rattling its tail to let the dog know its there as a defensive move, dog got curious, thought it a was toy, got too close and was bitten. Snakes have no interest in large animals like this and people. They want nothing to do with you. They will only bite you if you coming with in inches of it, step on it, or feel threatened
Your speculations are inaccurate. The snake sought out the puppy's heat signature. A curled-up, sleeping puppy appears no bigger than a squirrel, the rattlesnake's normal prey. Snakes hunt. That's all this snake was doing, hunting. But instead of a squirrel in its path, it was a sleeping puppy. This attack was one of mistaken identity.
I detest & loathe "educated" idiot idolaters / snake-lovers who try to tell us how "good" poisonous snakes are, & how we should "love" them. They've never had a pet, livestock, a friend , or loved one go through the throes of death, lose a limb, become disfigured, handicapped, or watch a child die from those cursed creatures.
It was hunting so of course it will be aggressive towards its prey. When humans encounter them and they rattle they are not being aggressive, they are being defensive to try and get the human to go away because humans are not a rattlesnake's prey.
How about this; if you don't understand them or their behavior, just leave them alone.There was no "attack", just a scared animal defending itself. All species will defend themselves if cornered---why single out a snake for having "evil intentions" when they are fighting for their lives??
Northern Pacific rattlesnakes aren't the worst bite out there so it got lucky. Luckily the puppy was ok. The thing about rattlesnakes is that people don't realize what they actually see. They can only distinguish shapes and color. So when they're out cruising around and they come across this puppy, it shows up as a big blob of heat. This is because they have heat sensing pits that detect predators and prey in the environment. What would you think if you were this snake? It more than likely was giving it a warning bite to try and get the puppy to move because it may have thought of it as a potential predator. Regardless, both of these animals were in the wrong place at the wrong time and what unfolded unfolded.
A curled-up puppy heat signature wouldn't be too different than a squirrel, normal food for large snakes in our area. All critters gotta eat and a snake is no different. The snake was just doing what snakes do. And yes, the puppy is lucky it was a Northern Pacific. The puppy is 3 years old now.
This is why i HATE those SOBs! Breaks my heart to see that innocent beautiful puppy having a puppy dream, just for that serpent from hell to come and bite him for no reason! Also bothers me to think what if a child jumped into that ball pit with a rattlesnake in it! Parents in those areas should have a habit of checking the area before letting kids play. Dam i hate snakes!
I remember always goin to this McDonald's along i75 when i was a kid to visit family in south Florida. At some point another kid got snake bit in the ballpit and they shut down the whole playground to find a massive clutch of eggs in the ballpit.
This is why I kill any poisonous snake I see. In Texas we have rattlers, cotton mouths, copper heads. (rat snakes, garden snakes, king snakes are left alone)
@@jiujitsujones7374 Wooded areas, around the lakes, creeks, suburbs. Been a whole lot this year. Ive killed three close to my house. Watch for water moccasins too!
So dogs lives matter more than snake lives to you? 🤔 I have four dogs and when I find a rattlesnake in the yard I catch it and release it out in the desert somewhere.

For people who say snakes are defensive creatures and we’re the predators no. Dog was minding his business not bothering anyone snake approached and bothered him. If your “defending yourself” why would approach the person your defending yourself against

I was proving the point that you can’t treat animals with same dignity and respect as humans their animals they will hurt you if they feel like it. Animals are for food aside from pets nothing more nothing less. This whole animal rights movement is ridiculous and this snake proves it lol
I didn't see the strike. They could have crossed paths. The dog could have been laying there awake and went after the snake not knowing any better. My dogs have been bitten by copperheads before. They will be ok on their own.
Medical intervention saved the puppy's life. Bloodwork established envenomation. Snake venom doesn't always kill fast. Also of note, only one fang penetrated the puppy. After the puppy was shaved we found a scrape where the second fang scratched the puppy. Lucky day for the puppy. Very lucky day to survive.
@@mattanderson1608 The puppy was too young for this vaccine at only 8 weeks old. Non-core vaccines like the rattlesnake vaccine aren't given until the puppy has completed the core vaccines.
Snake:.... 9mm: what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
@@heathstow304 that's an interesting but incorrect thought. Pits rots Dobbies etc are bred for straight on fighting. My gf is a vet on the Texas mexico border. Those are the dogs that usually end up getting bit. Cro fab or Wythe equivalent is too expensive for most owners so survival rate isn't good. The "rattlesnake vaccine " is a scam. It's easy to say there should always been a human with them. Usually the only way to do that is to keep dogs in the house. Which to me is cruel. Dogs are born to wander. My lot has 5 acres fenced well for the animals. Occasionally I have seen my guinea fowl or goats chasing snakes. The breeds that are small but athletic seem to do best in snake/dog fights. The terriers originally bred as mouse hunters seem to do well.
Don't assume your Golden learned to stay away from snakes. I'm going by my Cocker Spaniel, who was bitten by a copperhead on a camping trip in a remote area. A few years later she eagerly messed with an eastern diamondback (until seconds from being bitten). With her earlier copperhead bite, I had no transportation and had to trust in luck. I only had antibiotics with me, which I gave her a week later when she got very sick (possibly from something else). When she was bit she swelled up on the side of her face only a little for about 6 hours, so it was either a dry bite (minimum venom) or the fact that she was bitten just behind her nose. Evolution has given dogs especially thin capillaries in that area to slow bacteria and venom in case of scratches or bites. That way, by the time the bacteria or venom enters the dog's larger body it's lessened in potency. If I ever camp with my dog in a remote area again, I'll bring Benadryl with me, which reduces both internal and external swelling. I heard about a very isolated veterinary clinic that prescribed a snakebit dog Benadryl for a whole week (one mg per pound of body weight) because they had no anti-venin. The dog survived.
Why do you hate snakes? If it's because they kill people then I highly recommend you re-evaluate because dogs kill more people than snakes do. I hate nasty mutts
Not an attack, it was looking for a place to hide until nightfall, they're nocturnal. It was not an attack, the puppy just happened to be under the same shade the snake wanted.
The snake left it’s shade as evening cool began. The snake passed other shade to a heat signal way out of its way. It was hunting. Just doing what snakes do.
@@Chris-cg3ew This was late evening, it had already cooled off. The snake had been holed up under the ball pit during the heat of the day. Our local professional herpetologists reviewed the footage directly from the camera and the actual area. The extreme wide angle skews the sizes. It’s a small puppy and a large snake. It’s not my professional opinion it’s theirs. We often see rattlesnakes during this hour feeding when we’re in other areas during archery season. We once came upon a rattlesnake feeding on a large squirrel earlier in the evening than this. So you err by thinking it must be dark for them to feed. The primary food source for rattlesnakes in our area are squirrels, they are not nocturnal. Frankly, I’m not inclined to think a rattlesnake wants to cool off by leaving shade and then seeking shade with another critter. As for me, I’m a hunter, and I recognize another hunter. I hold no ill will toward the rattlesnake.
Poor puppy was just sleeping and fuckin snake had to bite him... I'm not into killing any snakes but if it fucks with my puppy, I would have made the snake a belt....
When I find rattlesnakes in areas where they are highly likely to come into contact with humans or domestic animals, I simply catch them and move them far from human habitation. I think that when we live in areas where there are venomous snakes we need to keep a very close watch. We also need to do our best to limit their hiding places near our homes, barns, and play and grazing areas. Discouraging rodents also discourages rattlesnakes.
What you are saying is really not too smart, I care about human life and a pets life more than a snake. 3 things can happen with what you said and 2 of them are bad. The only good thing is you relocate the snake and it doesn’t come back. The 2 bad things are it comes back and gets another chance to hurt or kill your loved one, the worst scenario is it breeds and instead of 1 snake you have 10 to 20 of them roaming around. Been living here in FL for a little over 10 years and at present I have killed 17 snakes. And before any of you start whining about how I shouldn’t kill the snake I say BS. One of my neighbors was taking her kids to school one morning and luckily when her son opened the front door he was looking down and there was a cottonmouth right by the front door. That’s why every snake I see I kill.
Huey Freeman You are a freaking idiot who doesn't know a thing about snakes. Both Northern and Southern Pacific rattlesnakes have a very very small range. The two I released will be very far from anyone even if they move an unusual distance to establish a new territory. On top of that, the female I moved was very pregnant, and moving her put she and all her coming babies far from other humans and domestic animals. Why am I not surprised you're from Florida. The state where ignorance reigns supreme. If you kill every snake you see, then you kill King snakes. King snakes eat Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouths, Copperheads and every other kind of snake. People like you are exactly why this country and this world are so screwed right now.
@@hueyfreeman9297 you *MORON* a rattlesnake only gives birth to at most 12 snakes and only about 3 or 4 survive And rattlesnake won't attack humans unless people provoke them Usually true with dogs but the rattlesnake was trying to catch prey and the dog was not very big
@@smellyolegoat150 hey genius I’m not from Florida I’m from NY, and us New Yorkers are great at certain things like risk assessment, you or a loved one, or pet can’t get bit by a snake if it’s not around, but of course your one of those people who value the snakes life as much as my friends 10 year old son, you nature lovers just don’t get it!
That's why no matter how much you hate your dogs you keep em in your house when you live somewhere like that snakes will be in those places taking em out 3 times a day and shelter em
It was not a predatory attack, that snake was just moving around.. the slightest movement would startle the snake at it would bite. try only making statments on shit you know about.
That was not a predatory attack? lmao of course it was, a snake doesn't go out of it's way to slither towards another animal if they don't plan on killing and consuming it. last time i checked snakes don't move towards an animal they don't want to eat.
@@sam-sh2hc Doesn't matter whether the puppy moved first or not because the snake was and already had moved towards it meaning it intended to do harm. Read my entire comment before responding.
@@eternallinks3351 the snake thought the puppy was something like a mouse and so it went in but found out it was too big and the puppy startled the snake
@@davidblack1829 Dat's NOT dat. Da dude wut sed dat got enuf likes on da comment to make me tay away from yootoob before I tart becuming dat dum myself.
God bless the puppy and best wishes for him/her. So grateful to see they were ok afterwards. Maybe if the clutter was picked up in the yard there wouldn't be such a high risk of snakes hiding in and around them though. It's a known fact when living in snake country that cleaning the yard of "unnecessary" debris is the best prevention of unwated pests, paticularly snakes who not only hunt prey that set up shop in around and under clutter, but also use these areas as cover from predators and for areas of shade and cover from the sun. This type of set up in a yard just begs snakes to travel through it. No disrespect intended whatsoever. Just some blunt but friendly advice.
The biggest invite to the snakes is prey. Our area is full of field mice, ground squirrels, grey squirrels, bunnies, etc. It’s reasonable to assume the snake was holed up out of the heat. But the clutter, as you call it, is enrichment for developing puppies. It’s not appropriate to neglect their development even with the risk. Our current setup includes a snake screen as well as procedures to verify no hiding snakes before puppies enter the outside playground.
*I don't get why you cut the head off? I easily beat ones head with a 2by4. Of course, it took 5 swings; rattlesnakes are extremely resistant, so explain to me this.*
baby rattler came into our yard the other day. I shot it 5 times with a pellet gun, fucker was still hissing. So i got it tangled up in an old rake lmao
Antivenom isn't cheap. You cannot give quick. Over-head at veterinary clinic/hospital is tremendously high. No government subsidies, no medicaid, no medicare, no grants, heavy tax on property and equipment and inventory.
@@Franklinveterinarycenter1of4 you’re correct, it’s very expensive. We encourage new owners to purchase health insurance for their new puppies because accidents happen. There’s is no policy however that covers accidents or injuries while in the breeder’s care. Those are the breeder’s responsibility in full. Our vet provided excellent care to save the puppy. We love our veterinarians.

And the snake is now a hatband!
Anyone else care that it was a dog that the snake got pissed at and not a little kid later playing in the area??
It's a play area for puppies. HOWEVER, the next day kids did come with their families to pick up puppies. We are thankful a child wasn't bitten.
snakes never attack people.They want only to be left alone.People attack snakes--your welcome
You dont live near poisonous snakes so go sit down
Keep the puppy. In the house use unless the re is a human outside with it .
Snake wouldn’t have gotten by with that if that was a pit or a rot
@@heathstow304 that's an interesting but incorrect thought. Pits rots Dobbies etc are bred for straight on fighting. My gf is a vet on the Texas mexico border. Those are the dogs that usually end up getting bit. Cro fab or Wythe equivalent is too expensive for most owners so survival rate isn't good. The "rattlesnake vaccine " is a scam. It's easy to say there should always been a human with them. Usually the only way to do that is to keep dogs in the house. Which to me is cruel. Dogs are born to wander. My lot has 5 acres fenced well for the animals. Occasionally I have seen my guinea fowl or goats chasing snakes. The breeds that are small but athletic seem to do best in snake/dog fights. The terriers originally bred as mouse hunters seem to do well.
Omg he made it?! That is awesome. I thought for sure that they would find him dead. Lucky bugger
Don't assume your Golden learned to stay away from snakes. I'm going by my Cocker Spaniel, who was bitten by a copperhead on a camping trip in a remote area. A few years later she eagerly messed with an eastern diamondback (until seconds from being bitten). With her earlier copperhead bite, I had no transportation and had to trust in luck. I only had antibiotics with me, which I gave her a week later when she got very sick (possibly from something else). When she was bit she swelled up on the side of her face only a little for about 6 hours, so it was either a dry bite (minimum venom) or the fact that she was bitten just behind her nose. Evolution has given dogs especially thin capillaries in that area to slow bacteria and venom in case of scratches or bites. That way, by the time the bacteria or venom enters the dog's larger body it's lessened in potency. If I ever camp with my dog in a remote area again, I'll bring Benadryl with me, which reduces both internal and external swelling. I heard about a very isolated veterinary clinic that prescribed a snakebit dog Benadryl for a whole week (one mg per pound of body weight) because they had no anti-venin. The dog survived.
THANK THE LORD THE PUPPY IS ALRIGHT..... I AM SO GLAD ! !
Dogs are very tough animals. That was a massive snake. If that snake would have bit a child way different outcome
Cobra Kai VS Puppy Kai.
How do you know the snake wasn't provoked? You can hardly see the dog.
I hate nasty snakes !!! Poor doggy. I hope he’s is ok now. I’m happy nothing happened to your kids !!
Why do you hate snakes? If it's because they kill people then I highly recommend you re-evaluate because dogs kill more people than snakes do. I hate nasty mutts
i hate idiots like you
dark apple I give two fuck about your feelings fucking weirdo !!
Ven0m_B1te14 I hate them because I hate them and period what do I need to explain you why ? Mind your business weirdo
Snakes aren’t nasty and there is no reason to hate them
My dog too got bit by a rattle snake, he was lucky we found him in time .. not so good for the rattle snake 🐍 ☠️⚰️🪓
When I found snakes I always used to kill them
My biggest enemy
Hey, rattlesnakes gotta eat too.
Glad your baby was ok 🙂🤗
Im glad puppers is ok
Why isn't the owners out there
Glad the puppy survived..
Thank gosh
Not an attack, it was looking for a place to hide until nightfall, they're nocturnal. It was not an attack, the puppy just happened to be under the same shade the snake wanted.
The snake left it’s shade as evening cool began. The snake passed other shade to a heat signal way out of its way. It was hunting. Just doing what snakes do.
When it bites it is an attack. More so when it is a snake that came to them.
@@redtailgoldenretrievers I'm actually a herpetologist with the DWR, what do you do for living?
@@Chris-cg3ew This was late evening, it had already cooled off. The snake had been holed up under the ball pit during the heat of the day. Our local professional herpetologists reviewed the footage directly from the camera and the actual area. The extreme wide angle skews the sizes. It’s a small puppy and a large snake. It’s not my professional opinion it’s theirs. We often see rattlesnakes during this hour feeding when we’re in other areas during archery season. We once came upon a rattlesnake feeding on a large squirrel earlier in the evening than this. So you err by thinking it must be dark for them to feed. The primary food source for rattlesnakes in our area are squirrels, they are not nocturnal.
Frankly, I’m not inclined to think a rattlesnake wants to cool off by leaving shade and then seeking shade with another critter.
As for me, I’m a hunter, and I recognize another hunter. I hold no ill will toward the rattlesnake.
Poor puppy was just sleeping and fuckin snake had to bite him... I'm not into killing any snakes but if it fucks with my puppy, I would have made the snake a belt....
Cut that snakes head off. Leave that puppy alone.
When I find rattlesnakes in areas where they are highly likely to come into contact with humans or domestic animals, I simply catch them and move them far from human habitation. I think that when we live in areas where there are venomous snakes we need to keep a very close watch. We also need to do our best to limit their hiding places near our homes, barns, and play and grazing areas. Discouraging rodents also discourages rattlesnakes.
What you are saying is really not too smart, I care about human life and a pets life more than a snake. 3 things can happen with what you said and 2 of them are bad. The only good thing is you relocate the snake and it doesn’t come back. The 2 bad things are it comes back and gets another chance to hurt or kill your loved one, the worst scenario is it breeds and instead of 1 snake you have 10 to 20 of them roaming around. Been living here in FL for a little over 10 years and at present I have killed 17 snakes. And before any of you start whining about how I shouldn’t kill the snake I say BS. One of my neighbors was taking her kids to school one morning and luckily when her son opened the front door he was looking down and there was a cottonmouth right by the front door. That’s why every snake I see I kill.
Huey Freeman You are a freaking idiot who doesn't know a thing about snakes. Both Northern and Southern Pacific rattlesnakes have a very very small range. The two I released will be very far from anyone even if they move an unusual distance to establish a new territory. On top of that, the female I moved was very pregnant, and moving her put she and all her coming babies far from other humans and domestic animals. Why am I not surprised you're from Florida. The state where ignorance reigns supreme. If you kill every snake you see, then you kill King snakes. King snakes eat Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouths, Copperheads and every other kind of snake. People like you are exactly why this country and this world are so screwed right now.
@@hueyfreeman9297 you *MORON* a rattlesnake only gives birth to at most 12 snakes and only about 3 or 4 survive
And rattlesnake won't attack humans unless people provoke them
Usually true with dogs but the rattlesnake was trying to catch prey and the dog was not very big
@@hueyfreeman9297 the cottonmouth being there doesn't make it aggressive we are invading their territory and you are evil
@@smellyolegoat150 hey genius I’m not from Florida I’m from NY, and us New Yorkers are great at certain things like risk assessment, you or a loved one, or pet can’t get bit by a snake if it’s not around, but of course your one of those people who value the snakes life as much as my friends 10 year old son, you nature lovers just don’t get it!
Thank you Jesus Christ for helping this puppy in the name of Nazareth Jesus Christ amen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bad snake! looking for trouble. It knows it can't eat a dog that size.
That’s so thankful ❤️❤️
This was set up have you noticed how many close ups of innocent baby animals getting attacked they get
That's why no matter how much you hate your dogs you keep em in your house when you live somewhere like that snakes will be in those places taking em out 3 times a day and shelter em
So did you barbecue the snake?
why do people get the wrong dogs!!!! get a dog that will protect you and your family!!!!
boring dogs
The snake was actually hunting for kids.
It just picked up a heat signature and bit it that is all that happened
Thank God the puppies OK always keep a gun with snake shot if you can
Just crazy. 😢
It was not a predatory attack, that snake was just moving around.. the slightest movement would startle the snake at it would bite. try only making statments on shit you know about.
It was hunting. Doing what snakes do and was not stumbled on by the puppy.
That was not a predatory attack? lmao of course it was, a snake doesn't go out of it's way to slither towards another animal if they don't plan on killing and consuming it. last time i checked snakes don't move towards an animal they don't want to eat.
@@eternallinks3351 it was not a predatory attack the puppy moved and the snake struck because the puppy startled it
@@sam-sh2hc Doesn't matter whether the puppy moved first or not because the snake was and already had moved towards it meaning it intended to do harm. Read my entire comment before responding.
@@eternallinks3351 the snake thought the puppy was something like a mouse and so it went in but found out it was too big and the puppy startled the snake
THANK GOD
Jason Donovan once sang "Sealed with a kiss"
Wouldn't want my kids out there
If it was your kids they would provoke the snake before it bit
"There was nothing we could do, the puppy was a made man and the rattle snake wasn't" 🤤🤤🤤
"It was among the animals real grease ball shit"😣😣😣😣
and dats dat
@@davidblack1829 Dat's NOT dat. Da dude wut sed dat got enuf likes on da comment to make me tay away from yootoob before I tart becuming dat dum myself.
Nature gotta eat
This is so sad
Poor baby puppy, I'm glad he's going to be alright.
Look at that mess what you expect
Exactly
I only hoped the puppy died of venom but whatever.
Well thays all wee need to know about you
God bless the puppy and best wishes for him/her. So grateful to see they were ok afterwards. Maybe if the clutter was picked up in the yard there wouldn't be such a high risk of snakes hiding in and around them though. It's a known fact when living in snake country that cleaning the yard of "unnecessary" debris is the best prevention of unwated pests, paticularly snakes who not only hunt prey that set up shop in around and under clutter, but also use these areas as cover from predators and for areas of shade and cover from the sun. This type of set up in a yard just begs snakes to travel through it. No disrespect intended whatsoever. Just some blunt but friendly advice.
The biggest invite to the snakes is prey. Our area is full of field mice, ground squirrels, grey squirrels, bunnies, etc. It’s reasonable to assume the snake was holed up out of the heat. But the clutter, as you call it, is enrichment for developing puppies. It’s not appropriate to neglect their development even with the risk. Our current setup includes a snake screen as well as procedures to verify no hiding snakes before puppies enter the outside playground.
@@redtailgoldenretrievers Totally understandable.
@@charlesbr7684 religious vomit, snakes are amazing creatures, stop letting your bible brainwash you into thinking they work for satan
We need to rid the world or these snakes!😟👎
*I don't get why you cut the head off? I easily beat ones head with a 2by4. Of course, it took 5 swings; rattlesnakes are extremely resistant, so explain to me this.*
My dog has been bit twice on the nose by rattlers. She hates those snakes with a passion now.
That is the worst alarm I've ever seen. Glad he/she is ok.
Where is ur snake🤣🤣🤣
baby rattler came into our yard the other day. I shot it 5 times with a pellet gun, fucker was still hissing. So i got it tangled up in an old rake lmao
didn't have to shoot it. Snakes actually feel pain if u didnt know
You shouldn’t have killed it , it was just a baby , snakes aren’t evil and there is no reason to kill them
As much pain as when we get bit? yes kill it.
Lol
hopefully some day you'll feel that pain 1000 fold
Poor baby of that happen to my dog I would of cried 😭😭
You would "have" cried, not would "of".
@@drygulched8084 thanks
I'd of killed that damn snake!
Well that’s a 500 vet bill
Over 2K. But worth every penny as he is doing well. Three years old now.
Antivenom isn't cheap. You cannot give quick. Over-head at veterinary clinic/hospital is tremendously high.
No government subsidies, no medicaid, no medicare, no grants, heavy tax on property and equipment and inventory.
@@Franklinveterinarycenter1of4 you’re correct, it’s very expensive. We encourage new owners to purchase health insurance for their new puppies because accidents happen. There’s is no policy however that covers accidents or injuries while in the breeder’s care. Those are the breeder’s responsibility in full. Our vet provided excellent care to save the puppy. We love our veterinarians.
littermates?
Only the one puppy was attacked. He is fully recovered.
