Question about Texas rattlesnakes!!!

Don't know if sidewinders are in texas, it's just one of the few venomous species native to the US.

 

When one gets you when you're walking through Van Horn some night don't blame us.

 

Looks like a Catcadia for sure

 

Yeah, I think that clown local LEO that went around the truck stops writing tickets for people sitting in the driver's seat while in sleeper birth got fired.

 

Oh, now I get the irrational fear. You're female. Got it.

 

Most snakes are excellent climbers, even able to climb brick walls and trees


And the cab of a semi is hardly airtight. Besides the vents, you also have the holes that the pedals and (with a manual) the shifter go through. Plus the holes for wires for an inverter, drain hole under the bed if you have an APU powered AC unit, hole for the steering column, and holes for all the wires to go between batts/engine and inside cab.

Snake could easily reach up to the undercarriage of the cab and climb the plethora of stuff underneath to find an entryway into the cab. If you have an inverter, try and see where the wires to the battery are going. Might be a 2 or 3 inch hole with a rubber grommet that you can easily stick a few fingers through. Snake or a mouse can just as easily come through it.

 

Pooped OM sayes herding truck drivers very stressful. Probably about as bad as herding rattle snakes

 

That's how you look after waiting on trailer maintenance for 2 days.
