Walking with my wife yesterday evening and a two foot rattler was laying straight as a stick in the street. I was one step from stepping on him, and he didn't rattle and didn't move. I picked up a little rock and tossed it at him. Still didn't move. Then I tapped him with a stick and that got him rattling. If you are in rattlesnake country, keep your eyes open. This seems to be a new survival mechanism at least here in Arizona. I've seen this behavior for the last few years.
