Question about Texas rattlesnakes!!!

Yep. Id advise everyone stay out of Tx. All these guys saying you'll probably never see a rattlesnake is full of it. They're everywhere, out west you have the desert rattlers, out east you've got the swamp rattlers and those can swim.

Oh and the size? Yea lets just say there's a reason they call them Tx Anacondas.

And and the freight sucks down here. Its 3:30 on a Thurs and Im sitting at home!

 

Y'all have got those truck friendly speed limits though.

 

Lot more rattlers in southern az than texas... they will let you know they are watching you. You will hear them before u see them. If u hear them shake their tail just walk back slowly the same way u came. If u go any further they will bite you. They are not aggressive . Only defensive.

 

Yes we need bouncers at our state borders. No one gets in anymore unless it is just to visit.

 

Oh hey buddy

 

Is that a rattlesnake or copperhead?

 

Only questions I was thinking of "Should I scream like a girl or crap my pants"?.

 

I have lived in Texas for 15 years. Never seen one.

In my life I have encountered 3 poisonous snakes.

A roadkill rattler in Arizona
A copperhead in New Jersey

A Florida cottonmouth at the Loves in Lakeland Florida. It was right in the grass when I went to open my trailer door to clean it out. It ran away from me.

I made an INaturalist observation of it

That would be the first snake ever to have legs and run away
