Rattlesnakes and Buck knives

st8yd,that is funny!
Similar thing happend with a water mossican someone shot the head off .
I tacked it to a post and skinned it with my 301 Buck,came back the next day to show some buddies,one lifted the snake with a stick and it coiled up.....eveyone ran!
Being cold blooded a dead snake can bite up to 24 hours after being killed.....maybe longer.

We were hopefully teaching dogs to avoid snakes,through sight, noise and smell.
Most were bird dogs, we had several other mixed and full breed from Corgi to large pitbull
hog dog.
The first station was sight,smell and noise .
One Snake moving,coiling and rattling in the open.
Second station,3 snakes in a box with screens on the sides for smell and rattling.
Third station was smell with 10 rattlers in a box with soild sides and open top.
The dogs wore an e-collar and were hit with a mild shock each time they got too close
to each snake,to check to see if it worked they were led back to the snake on the ground
at station one.....the handler could not get the dogs close either up wind or down wind.
That should keep more dogs from being snake bit and fewer snakes getting killed.
 
Cool pictures and information EEE. I had no idea that snakes could bite that long after death!

Recently, it was in the news about a boa dying from silicone poisoning, after biting an Israeli model's breast that was teasing it while filming some commercial!

I helped with a dog club's snake avoidance clinic this past weekend .
I thought it would be interesing to put some Buck knives in front of a passive
rattlesnake while waiting for the handler and next dog to get ready to pass
my station.The snake would rattle and flick it's tongue out when I laid each knife in front of it.

The rattlesnakes fangs were removed and the mouth was sutured shut by a vet.
They are fed a saucer of milk for a few months until sutures come out and fangs regrow.

this may be too regional, I dont know. but you look like a anamatited charicture for an insurance company mascot, The General as in 1-800-the-general. I am not an employee or paid spokesperson. their spots run in north Texas:)
