Also, please keep in mind that MANY totally harmless snakes, such as this very harmless Black Ratsnake will rapidly vibrate their tails when they feel threatened by something(a large monster human for example..LOL!).

When they do this in dry leaf litter for example, it can give the false impression that it is a rattlesnake to many people, when in fact, it is very much not one at all. So do not get all worked up from a thin tail with no actual RATTLE on it either just because you hear an audible vibrating sound coming from one in the future.

This is very common for them to do, and they are needlessly killed by people quite often for that very reason. All it means is......please just leave me alone, I don't want to be bothered..LOL!
