I went through that too when I first started posting. I used to hold rattlesnakes behind their heads until people convinced me how stupid it was. On the field herp forums, the pictures of handling rattlers or a picture of them pined by a snake hook behind the head, get the worst responses, for good reason. I'm glad you're going out and looking for them in the wild. Those are always very important observations to make that will help you learn how to keep them in captivity. Always take note of moisture, temps, time of day and time of year.
