  • We don’t get calls for nearly as many of these as we do other species of rattlesnake, but I always enjoy them. Here is the dreaded “Mojave Green” rattlesnake - loved by hyperbole enthusiasts and loathed by the people who believe them. Just like most of the information out there in common culture about rattlesnakes, what you’ve probably heard about these snakes is unlikely to be accurate.

    A mojave rattlesnake chased me, took my wallet, stole my girlfriend, and now lives in my house. And you know I respect him, that rattlesnake's living his best life.

    Living out west most of my life I’ve encountered hundreds of rattlesnakes. I hate snakes but love rattlesnakes cause my experience is they really just want to be left alone and not bothered…plus they warn you they don’t want to be messed with. Never encountered an aggressive one tbh. Respect!

    I think alot of the caution with the Mojave is they are the most venomous type of rattlesnake. But this one seems docile, compared to other rattlesnakes I've seen. I grew up in Central Texas, full of Pacific and Diamondbacks and learned that for the most part, these rattlesnakes aren't here to bother anyone.. They just want their space, and I'd say most humans feel that way too. I've always found snakes to be beautiful, this Mojave is no exception. Great video

    This was a very informative video. In my opinion, as long as we are careful where we step during a hike, we should be safe. I also purchased gaiters for the additional peace of mind for hikes with low visibility of the surroundings. Thanks Bryan.

    I came across one of these on a bike trail at night in Havasu City. We met, said 'Howdy', and went our separate ways. It really knocked a lot of mystique out of me about any buzzworm's intentions.

    I wonder if they sense fear in humans which would make it a bit more tense. You are familiar with them so basically know what to expect. I’m learning a lot from your channel. It’s interesting! Thanks for sharing.

    When I lived in the Mojave Desert back in the mid 70's, the fear of these snakes, (as I was told) was because they were still so rare there was no anti venom developed for their bite. If you were bit from the chest up, your chances of survival were not very good. Now this was almost 50 years ago, so what do I know. I use to look for them, but never found one in the wild.

      Fortunately, this is just one of the many myths about this species. They are very common in the habitat where they live, and BOTH of the antivenoms approved by the FDA for use in the US will work on this species.

    The most fascinating characteristic of the rattlesnake is his scales, which, are so dense, they appear to be feathers. The timber rattlesnake is my favorite. Rattlesnakes have been given a savage indictment by Hollywood, right along with the wolf and shark. It's a shame.

    A guy here in Pahrump had to be flown out to UMC in Vegas after being bit repeatedly by a Mojave Green rattler. He was walking to Dotty's in the middle of the night and found the snake sitting on the sidewalk, and tried to grab it by its tail and throw it into the desert... so that it wouldn't bite anyone. Lmao.

    I heard Mojave rattlesnakes have more toxic venom than some of the other rattlesnake species.

    • @davidboyd9204
      @davidboyd9204 Рік тому

      Their venom is a blend of neurotoxin and hemotoxin, which attacks the nervous system while using the enzymes of the hemotoxin to breakdown the tissues for digestion. Time is of the essence when you’re envenomated by a Mojave.

    • @dangurtler7177
      @dangurtler7177 Рік тому

      They have a combination of hemotoxin and neurotoxin in their venom while most rattlesnakes have only hemotoxin in their venom.

    Beautiful creature. Last fall I was fishing with my brother and walking a overgrown trail and happen to see a snake zip across the trail where almost stepped. Using my walking stick I parted the grass and the snake had coiled up under a bush. A couple minutes after showing my brother we started leave and that is when the snake started to buzz us. No aggressive moves towards each other. To me it seemed more like it was telling us he was bored with us and to go away. Don't know enough about them as far as what species of western diamond back that he was.

    I was on my mail route one day in central Illinois in my Jeep. There was a snake in the road that I didn't see until I was right on it. I just bumped it and skined it up a little. But it was a green rattlesnake. The only thing I could think was that someone had let it loose. I almost picked it up because I didn't think anyone would believe me.

    Peoria was once the home of the state's biggest western diamondback. KOOL-TV (now Fox 10 KSAZ) had a slow news day one Sunday and so a story came in of a farmer at 99th Ave and Peoria having killed a 6-foot diamondback. Happened in about 1970, These days I think we know a lot better than to just kill them.

      The Eastern DB is the largest bodied rattle snake. And it doesn’t have the ‘most potent’ (LD50) venom, but it delivers a huge venom yield, an average of something like 450mg. When it’s milked into a glass, it looks like an egg breaking! 😳

    • @RattlesnakeSolutions
      @RattlesnakeSolutions  4 роки тому +5

      So, it has to be said that this situation is much more rare than most expect, where moving around several feet is not an option. Of course it can happen, but that's always the best option. What I would do, especially if it's rattling, is just back off and get completely out of sight for 5-10 minutes. The snake will want to retreat to cover as soon as possible, and is likely only remaining in place because it does not feel it is a safe option to do so, especially if staying there and rattling seems to have done the trick of the predator (you, from its perspective) not eating it.

      Bullshit. The timber rattlesnake is located in the eastern part of Alabama. It is most certainly dangerous. Not an aggressive snake but packs a potent venom. The canebrake rattlesnake (southern timber) has two types of venom, type A and type B like the Mohave. With type A being primarily neurotoxic. If you don’t believe these snakes are dangerous try taking a bite from one of these snakes. Without seeking medical attention.

    You know what would be a good idea? Instead of just showing the removal of the snake do a little narration. For instance while on the way say you have a snake removal in a backyard in Peoria, it's a Mojave or whatever it is. Or I'm on the way to get a sidewinder that's in a pool. Or I'm heading out to grab a huge Diamondback, the homeowner says it's been messing with their dogs etc. By doing this you have the viewer getting excited to see the snake even more. I'm telling ya anticipation is everything. But love the content man!
