oh no, you just called those folks uneducated, because they kill or condone killing a rattlesnake in THEIR yard. You just pulled an FR, the unintentional insult.

But I do agree with you, I have 5 species of rattlesnakes on or very near my property(within a mile).

There is no excuse for rattlesnake roundups, and very little excuse for any person familar with snakes, like some board members here to not EDUCATE themselves on how to safely remove a rattlesnake if it actually is precieved to or is endangering a person.

All you need is a large trashcan and a shovel to safely remove a large rattlesnake. Of course, being reptile folks, they should be aware of such a device called a snake stick or even large snake tongs. Those should be acquired by anyone living where venomous snakes occur.

Personally I do not touch them on our property, if the kids or grandkids are over, we just avoid contact with the snake and watch it. ITs our version of TV.

Again, the real question is, why would that person post that HERE?
