Being from Central Indiana, I rarely see ANY snakes at all. Never even think about venomous snakes when I venture out of Central Indiana.
I wonder how I should better prepare myself and kids for those possibilities.
Tastes like chicken. Seriously...to me rattlesnake tasted like frog legs...which again...tastes like chicken.Hell, I'd try snake, I haven't turned anything else down to eat.
Rattlesnakes... wolves.. cougars on the way... what the hell?
Question regarding juvenile snakes.
A couple years ago I encountered a juvenile snake that was mostly dark, but had a faint pattern. I can't remember exactly what it was but it led me to believe that it wasn't just a garter snake. So I poked a stick near it and it coiled up, reared back, and its tail began shaking like a rattler. But there were no rattles. At what point do they get their first rattles? Was this likely a rattler?
Texan here..... and yes, I do believe that is a diamond back from the west texas species.....no worries though......It's only a baby!
