  • Every once in a while, people surprise us! Every day we encounter people from all walks of life, and varied reactions to rattlesnakes at their homes. It is no surprise that a majority of rattlesnake encounters don't go over well for the snakes, and mitigating that will always be a challenge. Follow Nikolaus and Marissa as they are called out on rattlesnake relocation calls where the homeowners actually like their reptilian neighbors!

    That vid was heartwarming! Loved the lady having conversations with the lizards. And that couple! So awesome they live peacefully among the critters with only a few small adjustments.
    I get my share of non-venomous snakes. I relocated one in the last 20+ years.. A water snake that was way too big (3.5 ft) for my little pond. He lives in a local creek now and I don't have to restock my minnows and goldfish any more.😁

    Wow, the house & the couple in Paradise Valley are objects of my envy!!!
    Our Southern California front yard, side yard & long parking strips, are all desert landscaped.
    All tiny in area, though.
    We don't have young children or outdoor pets anymore, so I welcome any visitors to our yard.
    We've only had 2 rattlesnakes since 1998. If we want to see sneks, we can just hike in Corriganville Park next door.
    Lots of bunnies, California quail, ground squirrels, roadrunner.
    No chemicals in our yard, lizards & birds eat all the insects.

      @mls01981 Thank you. We are OK where we live. I am originally from Pasadena & spent a lot of time in Altadena. Very sad. Most of my surviving family members (I am the youngest of 5, & I am old, so . . . ) live in the San Gabriel Valley, so some evacuated, some were prepared to go. All are safe & home. The Santa Ana wind gusts were at least 60 mph in our area. We are in a high risk area. The app called Watch Duty is amazing. All volunteer, all retired firefighters and dispatchers. I got alerts & updates the moment fires started, evacuation areas changed, etc.

    I got bit on the shoe by a red speckled rattlesnake. It didn't penetrate. Luckily it wasn't that aggressive because it had the opportunity to bite me several times before i noticed it. The thing didn't rattle at all and i was looking up when i should have been looking down. I still have those pair of shoes with the two pinholes in it.

    That guy's story about the firefighters who suggested just killing the stuck snake is a great illustration of why fire departments shouldn't be called to deal with wildlife issues.

    how close could i get to a snake, ive heard you basically have to step on one to get it to attack you, and also does pounding on the ground such as stomping make them go away? i know they mostly keep to themselves but i'd like to know in case i run into one, which i have, unrelated but i think it would be neat to share, riverbeds and dry washes are notorious places for animals of all types to inhabit, they are low down, with cool or warm sand, away from the dangers of roadways and people, with a very safe place to make a home presumably, ive encountered 10 different species in a riverbed near my home, snakes, spiders, wild cats such as bobcats and feral cats, coyotes, deer, elk, bats, and also many rodents and small critters, like a porcupine, groundhog, rats, ground squirrels, plural, it seems to be a common place for animals to be, so if you are in one, be careful, i almost stepped on a small black baby snake one time because i wasnt watching my feet.

    I think so many people kill these animals out of ignorance and fear. By learning just a little one comes to appreciate and the fear subsides when you realize we are not on their shopping list. I stopped the practice many years ago.

    I live just outside of New York City and, to many people’s surprise, we get a lot of wildlife. Bear, deer, turkeys, turtles, and snakes. I’ve lived in my house for 40 years, and I’ve seen lots of snakes, harmless ones, and only one copperhead. My M.O. is “you go your way and I’ll go mine!” Last night, a mouse got into a trap but, rather than kill it, I opened the trap and let him run back into the woods. I use the snap traps. The sticky traps are cruel. I also have three big dogs, and I think they instinctively know not to tangle with any snake: ua-cam.com/users/shortsMDKXtI_AEsI?si=XrhxhCFn_VNoDoN3

    Given that so many of the snakes around houses in this terrible heat are looking for water, is there a reason why you don't give them water in the bucket as a standard practice to both help save their lives and to reduce the risk that they will again seek out houses for water?

      @@clark2491 exactly. This one rescuer did that and I've seen it a few other times. But as a general rule it is not done.

    8:15 The first responders said: "I don't know why you went to all that trouble". (To save the snake).
    Snakes provide rodent control and food for other creatures.
    Humans are the only animals that provide nothing for the planet, and only consume. Yet, these guys make a living saving humans! See the irony?!

    These were good people but their attitudes towards the wildlife should be the rule rather than the exception.
