Just like waking up my wife! Bless her heart ❤️
I am married to her twin.😂
haha..awww just give her a kiss and a cuddle bro…🥰
Birds of a feather. Don't trust mine with a knife in the kitchen. Something says she'll gut me.
Lololo
My ex wife
I knew it was coming and it still scared the shit out of me
Poo say
Me Too
Same
yeeeeesssss
Yea right lol
I never saw a snake sleeping. That was really cool
Joey Hoffman they sleep in my classes everyday
Prophet :))
I also do not,, don't think so friends.
Iraq Lobsta!! 45 ah I got you now. Never knew that
He was playing possum. He knew he was there.
I have the same reaction when my kid is standing by the bed staring at me at 4am because of a nightmare.
Thanks for a good laugh
Scary kid you got
I'm glad my kids aren't the only ones who pull that stunt!!
I did laugh out loud 😂
🐟🐟🐟
Man it's such a beautiful creature.
And love the fact that it still went into warning mode first.
It was so damn quick.
Beautiful? Ok.
@@CalebePriester Yes.
is your mom butifull too
@@CalebePriester Yes, very beautiful. Love snakes.
Don't be mistaken. Strike mode and warning mode are no different.
The natural camouflage in action was amazing to see. Blends in so well!
Scared the shit out that poor rattler lmao
MannyFresh1x: I know. Poor thing.
@Ava Walker were*
Serves him right. They scare the shit out of me from time to time when I'm hunting white tail.
@@John-ir4id me too
@@ChrisRedfieldsbloodline you got a gun shoot them.i would
I love wildlife. I just started to see these regularly after living in AZ for 11 years. I now see them almost weekly on one of the trails I run. They are just beautiful creatures.
I'll admit I've watched UA-cam videos on my phone while sitting on the toilet, I wish this was one of those videos
That's literally me rn
Same
I am doing it right now
Lilprince Savvage saame here hahaha
I’m in the guy section
Man, she blends in so well with the terrain.
Scary or not, kinda cute when they're sleeping.. ☺️
Snakes do look kinda cute when they're sleeping. But still don't touch them
See he don't want no problems. He's telling you he's there and you don't need to be.
Thats a public property 😂
Love the warning that you absolutely cannot ignore. Much better than a molting (i.e. blind) Copperhead that sleeps in the middle of a trail that will just strike at anything.
"You in the wrong hood playa!!!"
😂🤣😂🔥🔥⚡️⚡️
From the looks of the rattlers, it seems to be 14 1/2 years old.
“Shooked”
Just like my dad when he woke up from a nap. 🤣
Wow that’s an amazing shot. I’m surprised he didn’t lunge at you. So cute when they’re sleeping! I once walked past one that I didn’t see and it struck at me and just barely missed my leg, then recoiled and slithered away. Most terrifying moment of my life. I think it was sleeping as well and I woke up when I walked past it and it just reacted out of instinct.
Snake: jumps up and warns the guy to get away
Guy: *imma get closer*
🙄
It was probably on a mount
It's like when you accidentally entered a Room while a Lady is Changing clothes haha xD
I just encountered an Diamond back while squatin in the woods today. Woah it wounded just like this, almost an air leak noise! The snake was right in front of me. I thought i steped on something under pressure but it was a snake. Thanks for the video so i can show people what it sounded like
"What are you doing in my swamp?!"
What a beautiful snake!!!! Sitting here laughing at my self because I knew it was coming and I jumped and screamed anyway. Lmao!!! I think they are fascinating.
Nearly swallowed my tongue when he lept up…😂😂😂…sheesh…those dudes are fast
Scared the hell out of that snake, that’s full on inflated trying to look bigger. If you came across it while it was awake and moving it would stay flatter to the ground and coil for striking to defend
I totally jumped lol wasn’t ready for the sudden wake 😂
Snake when shaking its rattle:
"Brother, be careful"
This is what the parents and schools should be showing their kids for how we are to wake up and get attentive instead of slouching for half of the morning
He knew you were there from the get go brotha he was just trying to hide till you you saw the danger and walked away without him having to expose himself
That scared the shit out of me
one of the most terrifying breed of snakes that you won't like to get close
I wish I had an alarm clock that woke me up like that.
Cameraman: oh cool! One of the most deadliest snakes in the world. It’s probably a good idea to make him VERY angry…
Me: what a brilliant guy!
Snake:Dang it Mario, dreaming I had the biggest rat you had ever seen
Damn that I'd one beautiful snake. Look at how many rattles it has. It's an older snake fosho
I don’t see anything beautiful about it. Menace is more like it.
Jesus, did a snake kill your whole family? Did a snake drive a wedge between your parents? Did a snake rob you of all your possessions?
Yep. Fortunately he got to live longer that day. :)
U actually cannot tell the age of a rattlesnake by the # of buttons on it's rattle, they get another button every time they shed and they shed multiple times a year! Also some of the buttons r often broken off by predators and what not so even if u could u would never get the actual # of rattles that should be there! A guy that knows a lot more about snakes than I do told me recently u can get a decent idea of whether the snake is older or not by the rattles closest to the tail, the wider they r the older the snake
@@e-reptiledysfunction2243 its normally a pretty good indication though. Rattlesnakes only shed 2 to 3 times a year so if it has 12 buttons its say to say its about 7 or 8
Snake went from 0-to rattle in 0.3 seconds😂
I was half expecting boss music when it woke up
I act very much, the same when somebody wakes me up suddenly
Me when I get woken up
It’s doubtful the rattlesnake was asleep and just woke up. I believe it was well avare of the presence of this guy (it does have eyes and heat sensitive pits), but felt no need to do anything because it probably thought the guy couldn’t see it because it was well hidden due to its camouflage. Rattling when a potential threat if 20 feet away is unnecessary and could get them killed. Once the threat was too close the rattlesnake went into threat display.
Yup that’s the sound of the rattler my professor had.
It is like a loaded shotgun,attached with a pressure string.
You move,it firesss 😂😂😂
Man I just jumped back off my couch. These guys don't play especially when they want sleep
As an Australian I can confirm that you are lucky this is an American snake
Damn, is that my mom, just waking up ready to cause problems
Even on video I nearly had a heart attack when it got in defense stance
That's intimidating, not going to lie. Nope, I'm out.
The poor thing so shocked it turned into a statue😭
When people get awaken from sleep for a remote control 🤣🤣🤣🤣 DON'T ASK ME DUMB STUFF
They so cute when they sleep
Lots of rattlesnake lovers on here but you should realize that many times a rattlesnake will attack with no warning at all. There is no data but it happens frequently. they aint' noble creatures.
Maybe it’s friendly?
Only if you've come bearing coffee.
Nah, wild snakes are never friendly. They can get used to you, if you keep them, however, that's a while for them to stop rattling when they see you, but I've seen ones that don't rattle round humans, all of them are in captivity.
@@TheLispMonkey oh really... like the sarcastic comment wasn't enough for you to realize it was a joke?
Very similar to my experience. I did not see the snake, but he saw me.
Holyshit that scared the shit out of me!
I got struck at twice by one of these things within like a month, both while I was out for a run. Missed both times. I had to stop running with my earphones on, really don't want to give them a third shot.
absolutely terrifying.
Gotta love these guys. They're one of the few predators that do you a favor and make it very well known that they are there and don't want to be messed with
@Twiddly Stosh some snakes wiggle their tails rapidly and make noise with the leaves since they don't have a rattle. A fer de lance was doing that in my hands once during a processing thing
The sad part is that you'll often still get bit if you don't see them right away and accidentally hop around while trying to escape...Maybe you accidentally step too close or step on them, and they get scared
Chris, My dog was walking a few feet in front of me and a snake about 4’ in length came out of a small bush about 20’ feet away. No rattling! It moved rapidly and it bit my dog on its hind leg. The snake went rapidly back to the bush. I looked at my dog and sure enough to puncture wounds. I went closer a few feet away from the bush and saw 2 snakes intertwined. I first thought they were mating, but they were very aggressive. I drew my hand gun and fired a round into the bush. They separated and both went down different gopher holes. The one that attacked my dog was half way down the hole as I shot it in the middle of its back. About 12 rattles and an evenly spaced black and white tail. Indicating it was a Western Diamondback. The other snake was longer with no rattles and probably what’s referred to as a Bull Snake. I rushed my dog to the vet and he recovered. A $2000 expense. They don’t always rattle.
@@glynnellis6519 I don't claim to know what every animal does. Hope your dog is okay!
@@cpresto2 Thanks Chris. Just a heads up that’s all. I’ve had many encounters and every time they were defensive. So the one that got my dog was an exception.
That was a clear "F*ck off!" from the snake.
Agreed
This really shows a rattlesnake's true nature and is why I appreciate them so much. Although completely startled by something very close to it, it still went into warning mode. They're just great snakes.
Not if you get bit.
A good snake is a dead snake. Nough said
@@smitty_1 That's your fear speaking. Take some time to learn a little more about them, and then maybe you'll learn to appreciate nature as a whole more
@@dontask2421 No fear. 46 yrs on a farm, Avid outdoorsman. Been snake bit a doz times. Snakes have their place. Dysfunctional Acres isn't that place. They kill poultry.
@@smitty_1 snakes are essential.
As someone who isn't a morning person and does not like to be woken up, this snake is incredibly relatable. I feel you, little dude.
Bet you felt alot of things with that fish trap between your legs harlot.
Come at me white knights with the incel slurs.
Must have been a Monday Morning
True i feel you
But you're a woman. At least this thing isn't trying to put me out on the streets.
@@danishdutchdeadly1198 I'm positive that rattlesnake would put you in the streets if it could

You too?!?!
Ugh sorry i had to come back and say i scrolled the comments to see other toilet talk.. i thought we were the only ones :C
Me 2 hhhhhh😂😂
Im realizing more and more that the sound of that rattle isn’t a bad thing. They are basically telling you to “backup homeboy!”
"Don't tread on me"
It's a two way street in the animal kingdom. Mine is "piss off hippy snake" followed by a shovel to the head. The snake can then choose. If he wants a war, I'll win.
@@matt9c1or, yknow… just leave the snake alone ☠️
@@Spawn117 Denied
"walk on home boy"
That dull roar is awesome, and not even a real roar, that's just the sound of it pulling air into its lungs to make itself look bigger and stabilize its stance! Snakes are fascinating.
Thank you so much for explaining the whoosh of air. That was more terrifying to me than the rattle!
It's really cool, it uses practically every tool it has at its disposal to intimidate a potential threat
King cobras make a similar noise. It kind of is the equivalent of a roar or a growl. Big snakes let you know when they're angry.
Snake: "It's not safe to sleep anywhere these days."
Yep, always someone wanting to prank you.
TexasDog3 Big howdy from CenTex
@@historyhunter5215 Hello from East Texas!
😆😆😆
First time ever seeing a rattlesnake pop that particular stance
Awesome video
Jonathan Howington I think it was Chuck Norris incarnate
Jonathan Howington sometimes they'll get so tall they fall over on themselves
It's kind of hard to spot but you can tell the snake is inserted in the video and this is fake
Austin Cearlock no bro, YOU are fake
@@coinmagnetjr No this is not fake! Just some knucklehead teasing the poor sleeping snake..and the snake looked like he was having a nice seista and probably a good dream to..don't you ever wake up grouchy like that though?
Man, you can just feel the sheer power of its body. The muscle force to stand this way, at this angle, even though it’s just a long noodle. There’s something so pure about predator animals.
It's about to shed/molt, too. Clouded eye scale/cap. It's called being in the blue. A snake in that phase can't see well and that condition usually increases their aggression (for self-defense).
But the reason it knew he was there right away was because of its heat pits, they rely heavily on them when in shed.
We call that here in tn dog days of summer! They shedding skin go blind as you say strike at anything.
@@Rryan8065 That's true, but the clouded eyecap is known to make them generally more aggressive w/ less provocation. Stands to reason. They can still thermally view prey/aggressors, but they're less secure in their overall safety by two eyecaps on top of it. Not always, either. They're all individuals, but in a general sense, a lot of snake people find it to be true.
@@Rryan8065 You said it knew he was there right away. Do you think it was aware of him the whole time and played dead when he was close? Or possibly just kept still? Or was it genuinely just asleep the whole time?
@@brad144k was most likely asleep. it would be against evolutionary instinct to let a predator get so close.
Very cool how the snake will give non-prey a "leave me alone" warning before they decide to bite. Cool animals.
They're like the badass gunslingers of the animal kingdom. Can definitely kill you but just wants to be left alone and will give you a good warning
Producing venom is often exhausting for their system.
Asked the person, YO... Whatchu doing here?
"When you're a noodle with a head the world is a scary place." Yeah, as if the elaborate camo wasn't enough of a "leave me alone", they also usually give fair warning. The thing is, though, that in any fight between something like a human and a snake, the human is going to win. Yes, said human may or may not die later if the snake is venomous and managed to bite you but that is the last resort of the snake to save it's own life. Despite what folklore or religious symbolism might suggest snakes are not malevolent or even angry creatures, they're afraid of you and don't want to die.
I think part of it is that it needs to look really big and scary because so many animals prey on rattle snakes. They really can't afford to get into fights with things larger than them. Even if they score a killing blow, the damage done to them is often fatal too. So I think they pull out all the stops and try to scare animals away.
Rattlesnakes are a true sight to behold. I've always loved and appreciated their appearance and their tendency to not just attack without warning. Truly a beast that deserves it's respect
They are an ambush predator and one of the leading causes of snakebite deaths of humans is from the diamond back rattlesnake .
Causes the most death of humans in the USA.
@@zzzxxzzz3248 k dont care
@@zzzxxzzz3248which means the people dying to it must have done something really stupid not to hear the loud af rattling.
@@zzzxxzzz3248. 5 out of 8 of our venomous snake species are rattlesnakes. It would be hard for them not to “win” that title.

Highly underrated comment.
dumbest pokemon joke ... reee reee reeeeeeeeeee.
That’s awesome hahahaha
Lol
You got him all rattled up
Ha!!
BUDM TSS
Welp he hissed it off
Epic response.🤣
I see what you did there 😂
Makes me curious of how many snakes I have actually walked passed without noticing in the woods.
All of them
Probably don't wanna know.
Usually,most people do walk by Rattlers, especially Timber Rattlesnakes without even seeing them and knowing it.
They look like dead wood are poisonous and noisy... You might look at them for a few minutes but then they get boring and you move on to real animals
You'll be surprised
That was freaky scary. I never saw a snake sleeping. Wow amazing video capture work. Good job!
I would be very annoyed if someone is filming me in my sleep.
When will humans learn?
I made a bad choice to watch this at night before going to sleep
Agreed!
@@words007 You are so right I would be so annoyed...Yes when will humans learn??? I agree. 💯

“I scare the living shit out of a DiamondBack Rattle Snake”
Diamondback Rattlesnake
Thx for the correction.. veeeery important
Such a noble serpent. He warns others about the danger he poses before striking.
Ah yes he does it because he cares
Honor? In a snake. Inconceivable.
I mean yes and no. Snakes are just smart enough to know that if they tangle with larger creatures, they are probably getting killed like most of the time so they prefer not to fight things they have basically no chance of eating. They also have to save up the venom for their actual prey so they don't starve, so the warning has a bit a double purpose. It is way of saying "I have a gun, don't make me use it, I got other problems to worry about."
Rattlesnake won’t bite unless provoked. Their venom is very expensive and taxing to produce. They rather use it for hunting food then for self defense
@@karlkrump6634😂😂😂
Is it just me or does that rattle sound like bacon frying???
Ummmmm, bacon
I'm real life it's so loud it drowns out all other noise.
I always say it sounds like droppin chicken in hot grease!
Yummmm, chicken
😂😂😂😂
-Steve Irwin would be proud 🥺 “Oh look at the lil bugger.... he’s an angry one 🤠”
“Feisty one ain’t he!” 😢
I heard that lol
Oh cranky!
"I'm gonna sneak up on it and jam my thumb in it's butthole"
"I'm gonna go touch it" lol
That scared the living shit out of me LOL

Lmfao me to
I will be pissed too if someone put a camera in front of my face while I am sleeping
It's not passed its defensive thinks Human gonna eat jt

With hisses not kisses.
Idk how it would be done but I just Wish she could read this comment and watch the video to appreciate the greatness of this comment.
Who knows, might even inspire change in her heart lol
It went from a boop noodle to a nope rope in the span of a second.
Went from a soil coil to a dire wire
Do not step on snek, or you will get the hurt juice
That the sum of that one my friend
It’s a danger noodle
Murder spaghurdher.
I love how everything is so calm and serene at first then…🤯 🐍
I have never seen a sleeping snake and that just scared the total shit out of me at 5 am. Omg. My heart is pounding. No need for coffee. I’m awake !!
I agree! No coffee needed....Scared the piss out of me literally...😯😬🤯😱
Thought I wake up pissed off. Dude needs coffee.
Or a snickers bar
Or a Red Bull so it can have its wings
I’d say a Snicker. I don’t wanna see this danger noodle on caffeine
coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc because he don't give eeffoc until he's had his coffee!
Diamondback Rattlesnakes are always angry. And always ready to defend or attack. They only live to survive, eat , reproduce and attack. No emotion or bonding at all. Really an interesting species of snake. And if they get the chance to sink their fangs into and deliver a good dose of venom your gonna lose a limb. Or maybe die. Just leave them alone. They want no interactions with humans. They hate us.

Hell yea I'm with ya if I was that snake I would have popped dude for waking me.
Damn straight! In boot camp one of my Drill Instructors who did 3 tours in Nam slept with a loaded a cocked 45 under his pillow. Needless to say if you.needed him to wake it was not by entering his room.
Damn rt!!!😂😂😂
But all we did was stare at him and presence alone would wake him
Lmao all he did was stare at him. You acting like he kept poking the damn snake
From a sound sleep to a striking position in a blink of an eye! Damn that snake wasn’t playing!
Ikr that snake said "I'm giving you one last chance to leave me alone and let me sleep OR ELSE!"
0:48 Dude got pissed REAL QUICK
The sound of it sucking in all that air to make itself larger is incredible
Must be an older one to be sleeping so soundly like that. Never imagined snakes sleeping.
He was about to molt.
The West Diamond is a sleeping beauty when asleep, and a beast when awaken!
The snake wasn't a sleep, it was awake the whole time.
chuimon slp then why it just sat there and did nothing in the first place?🤔🤔
@Bj Blanks it did. The rattler has pits located near their nostrils that pick up thermal heat from predators or preys in close proximity of it. All pit vipers have them including this rattler . That"s one early detection, the second thing that I noticed from this rattler that it was alert was it's tongue flicking in and out. Check it closely. When a snake sticks it's tongue out it's grabbing what's emitted in the air molecules around it and sending the info back from it's tongue to what is a jacob's organ located in it's mouth for smell of a prey or predator. Rattlers don't have keen vision therefore rely on smell and thermal heat signatures from prey or predator. Also note that most pit vipers like rattlers,puff adders and Gabon Vipers are ambush predators. Which means they don't chase after prey they wait for prey to come to them, envenomate them (inject venom in to their prey to neutralize them for pursuing and swallowing). Rattlers are bad asses, they give a lot of time and noise before they strike in most cases. Believe me it knew the threat
and fired off a warning stance (the last one before biting).
chuimon slp I can only see the tongue after it going into its defensive stance, do you see it before that?
@@xxscootalooxx4431I fucked up on two things. I looked at it again and didn't see it, I thought I did, nope, tongue didn't flicker. Secondly the puff adder is not a pit viper. The other stuff I wrote is on point but the tongue I thought I saw flicker didn't actually flicker until after. Good point.
Anyone else turning their head and holding phone away from face.

Carl Manuel I must have a special scent or something. I walk by rattlesnakes all the time at my parents house and they don’t even give me a second look.
@@foolspeedahead do you live somewhere where there's a lot of people? Overtime those snakes might've gotten used to humans. Where I used to live you saw them before you ever heard them, and with rattlers it's supposed to be the opposite. I think they got used to the previous owners who had kids that played in the creak all the time because those kids were taught how to handle a snake without having to downright run away. Our snakes only rattled if you got right up on their den or if you were about to step on one on the rocks. Otherwise they learned that seeing humans didn't mean humans were going to hurt them.
Plasma Snow 2nd account I only encounter them at my parents house. It’s a very remote part of California, so not too many people or homes.
you'd be scared too if a sudden giant's face was in leaning towards you as soon as you woke up.
