trinityau Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I came up on this young rattler today while checking an area out. It had one button and was about 14 inches long. TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border Boy Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Looks tasty #1 reason why I only wear headphones when I have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Is that a Pacific rattler or ? ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugbomb510 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yep that'd be a Northern Pacific Rattler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM MCCULLOCH Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I agree with Flak, a buzztail is a buzztail. About 30 minutes before posting this, nicely after dark, I came within 3 feet of a Western DB about 30 inches long. Slow, sluggish, and skinny, but..... Tends to raise the pulse rate when that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredm Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 My brother went to a garden-nursery in san diego county and bought some potted plants...his son came home that night and nearly stepped on a snake...turned out to be a very small rattler...so young it hardly had a nub on the tail...I took it out to a place away from people and turned it loose...as soon as it got in the weeds it became almost invisible...my points are...be careful when buying plants...small rattlers are very difficult to see...they are all dangerous..and ,it was a very pretty little snake.fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those little ones you'll never hear a rattle with only one little button, I always keep my eyes to the ground!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
