It might be the weirdest job, but it's my dream job. Thank you for all you and your team do.
Do you have any experience with venomous? Are you in AZ?
@@corytz7052 yes, and yes. Unfortunately, I'm a 60-year-old man who can barely walk after my youth thinking that I was 10 ft tall and bulletproof.
@@gregengel1616 ah gotcha, was gunna pm you some resources to get started
@@corytz7052 well, thanks for the thought Corytz. I just need to build myself a time machine now. 🤔
Not weird at all. Very important. You help and educate people, help the natural environment. Too many people are separated from nature and the importance of rattlesnakes in the ecosystem. Look how many people call now instead of just killing them.
Have any of your staff members taken a business card to the fire departments and said call us to handle snake removal calls? I've heard they get about 300 calls a year and they could handle emergency calls and leave snake removal calls to the experts who believe its essential to relocate these animals.
We have offered to help in a number of ways, including providing training on how to do it properly. It is up to each department which services they'll provide, and thankfully some are opting to get out of the wildlife services game to focus on their very important work. We are looking into some other things, but nothing I can discuss openly at this time.
I'm in the cross timbers area of Oklahoma we have mostly pygmy rattlesnakes here but more copperheads most people's thought is kill the snake!!! I try to remove n relocate if we do get a call but I will say in the 18 yrs I've been on the department out here I've only ran 2 snakebite calls but good idea!!
We’re usually AOI which essentially means we’re available and will get taken off the snake call and put on whatever is more of an emergency.
Thank you for everything you and your team do for education the community.
I lived in the Scottsdale area for several years during my retirement years before returning home to be close to family. Seeing this video only reminds me how much I miss Arizona.😢
I wonder if they sense something in the hole and that's why they don't go right in sometimes. I would love to know what they are 'thinking'. Thanks for these videos - I learn so much from you guys. I've always liked snakes, and have gained much more appreciation of them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question on one of your videos!
And thank you for another fascinating episode.
This would be an awesome job! When my family finds a rattlesnake or Copperhead they always call me to come deal with it. I'm glad they at least don't ever feel the need to kill them. Cool video!
I noticed whenever you release a snake, you generally want it to go down a hole. I've a few videos where the snake is just resting on the surface. Why do you make the snake go down a hole instead of letting it be? Thanks.
Great question! I’ll be answering this one in a future video. If you’re not already, be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it: rattlesnakesolutions.com/youtubes
Thanks for your BRAVERY in doing this kind of work
i had a rattlesnake in my grandmothers backyard for 3 weeks in 1996, it would just come up to me and never would do anything other than headbut my leg then it slithered off and ever saw it again. i had no idea that they were venomous at the time.
Really look forward to seeing your lovely refugees. Thankyou for posting
I think it is the best job! your provide a valuable service for the snakes and homeowners.
Okay guys I just found a snake caught up in my front door storm door chains at the top! I had opened front door cause supposedly to be in 70’s today in Wichita! OMG! What a shook! My cat actually alerted me to it! She was meowing like she was in trouble!
I am probably corn snake since we have a field right behind us !
Love what you guys are doing.
I had wondered if there might be predators in some of the cave openings or the pack rat nest too. I know that you and your team are doing the very best for the snakes as they may find certain death at the hands of others. I admire your work and wish you all safe retrievals and relocations.
I also wonder how many rattlesnakes you and your team walk past when looking for a good relocation place.
I thought Marissa had a body under the sheet strapped to the passenger seat…😂 I was like “that is the ultimate, get in, sit down, and shut up” move…
When I visited suburban Phoenix no one told me these were in the neighborhood. I could've used the warning.
Wouldn't live in an environment like that for all the tea in China. But I know that the desert lifestyle is appealing to many.
Your content has giving be the confidence and the abilities to safe relocate these misunderstood animals yes they can be dangerous I trust snakes more than people these days
It might be the weirdest but working with snakes is my Dream. Unfortunately I never worked with Venomous
Rattlesnake solutions....where do I apply?
I had one in my yard in San Diego. They’re so beautiful but it did freak me out. Especially because the head was totally camouflaged and even in the pic I took, I had no idea it was right there just looking at me.
It was a decent question, yes. But that can happen to any rattlesnake on the move out there and does.
It was a pretty snake 🐍 My favorite snake in the world is a green Mojave rattlesnake! And my second is a timber rattlesnake how do you get a job like that I love animals all animals even reptiles good day
How do the pack rats feel about getting a new room mate?
That is the best job in the world when you love reptiles
Snakes horrify me always have years ago I saw my first snake I ran and ran in fear.
In Alberta Canada they are very strict with snake removals , The snake handler needs to know the various winter denning sites a move the snake to its own den Also in British Columbia , Canada , Alberta and Saskatchewan have the Prairie Rattlesnake, British Columbia has the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake
I am retired but I would love to do this but unfortunately I live where there are few rattlesnakes.
Hey Bryan, what brand tongs do you use? I like the wide, flat mouth it has.
Bryan looks like an accountant. I would never have guessed that he handles rattlesnakes.
*actually this isn't weird at all, totally necessary and understandable!*
Do you folks ever go to lower income places and not just expensive new houses? Most people in AZ do not live in new houses that cost as much as the mc mansions you show.
We do when they call us. Those areas tend to be further from adjacent native habitat and have smaller lots, meaning less chance for a rattlesnake encounter.
The most astounding part of this video is the dumb questions below.
How do you become qualified to professionally do rattlesnake removal?
Snake handling courses, if you look for them in the internet you can likely find one close to you. They give you training on how to use the tools shown and how to relocate a snake (if needed)
As for the capability to do relocation as a profession, you’d likely have to apply for a nuisance animal removal permit.
I'm glad that you repatriate them instead of killing them
Dream job for sure
Nice Video! Sell excess to restaurants as food. Rattkesnack is excellent! Start a new sushi item.
We like them to be alive and in the wild.
What kind of rattlesnakes are these?
Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes
I’ll do this! Where do I train ?
My grandmother’s wiener dog used to kill rattlesnakes here in Texas. 😅
What kind of medical insurance do you need for a job of this kind?
This is actually a business in Az? I'm curious what that business model looks like.
Yes it is!
What's the biggest one you've caught?
About 6' in Costa Rica
I'd do it anytime
How can one can involved or potentially start doing it
Where can I recreationally go to catch animals like snakes and lizards and shit? I live in queen creek/east mesa
I can tell you where my ex-wife lives. She's the biggest rattlehead of them all LMAO :)
Brian's car is a lot quieter.
You. Guys always wear gaiters?
Typically we do not.
and meanwhile construction and factory workers wear safety shoes
How much do you charge if i need a snake removed?
💚
Geez Brian you can be pushy with these snakes about going into a pack rat hole
Little one's they are actually not aggressive creatures.
The right thing to do.
Why do you feel you have to slam the fire dept?. It would be interesting if your house was on fire and all the firefighters were out catching snakes.
Listen closely to what is said. Nobody is slamming the fire dept.
Supposedly good eating
Rattle snake serve a job of keeping rodents down
I would do that for a living if it paid well
Why not leave them alone?
There's no way of knowing if a predator will capture a relocated animal within 24 hours of its release.
Every wild animal is potentially some other wild animal's lunch. Relocation does not change the laws and behaviors of nature.
One can argue that the artificial habitats (e.g. - residential neighborhoods) change the densities of nearby native species; relocation is arguably the best solution.
A woman doing this 👀👀😍
