You live in the Southwest?

That looks a lot like a Desert Rattler.

Yes in metro Phoenix
Had to get a tree branch and nudge it to safety
. It was belligerent

I would never save a poisonous snake.

But that's just me.

 

[Lockback]

I really try to respect all life.

But I would have smashed that sumbitch under my tires so fast your head would spin.

In the Metro area? My Aunt & Uncle retired in the Metro area.

I would have thought that it would be sluggish. After all, on the pavement, it would be very warm, and that usually makes reptiles lethargic.

Depends on where you find it.

In a metro area, yeah it has to die.

If your hiking and 40 miles from anywhere.... Hey, it has a right to live too.

Anytime I see one, no matter where it is, all I think about is the possibility of it biting someone...Most importantly my kids or grand kids.

I do understand what you're saying, but I just couldn't let one live knowing the danger they present.

No different than seeing a board with a nail sticking up. Remove the threat of danger to others.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

To me, if I am in the middle of nowhere and I know that there are never anyone around but crazy ass me, then I'm just going to go around and finish the rest of my life.

Good on you for saving the life of an innocent animal.

I made A HUGE AMOUNT OF NOISE !!
The noise and my stick woke it up

 

[ChristisKing]

I hate snakes, but good for you I guess.

I have a big nose and nudged it back with the tip

oh I dont care if I get bitten. There is a hospital like 10 miles away but I kept my distance.

I am more scared of those Tarantula Hawks and their electric stingers flying around
