If you see a poisonous snake on the roadway do NOT try to move it. Words to "live" by.

Don’t try to move it, just give it the address of the nearest Bar Association.

.38 spl snake shot cartridges are most useful in such a situation. I’ve had to do it. Hated to do it, since they’re good at eating problem rodents, but I couldn’t have one of the kids accidentally stepping on one.

"If you see a poisonous snake on the roadway do NOT try to move it." Corollary: Run over it. Twice.

Barry died from a combination of the rattlesnake bite and an existing heart condition,” according to the Tulsa World.
For healthy individuals, rattlesnake bites aren’t usually fatal. But couple that with pre-existing conditions, and things get complicated.

In Texas I’ve seen people stop traffic to kick a turtle off the road.
Then get back in their truck, a mile latter and cross three lanes of traffic just to run over a snake.

The deceased probably already reproduced, so Darwin’s law is nullified here.

If you are ever bit by a poisonous snake and no immediate emergency care is available, an electric shock will neutralize the poison and save your life. A stun gun is ideal. Jumper cables connected to a car battery will also work.

I was on this whale watching boat when we came upon a Killer Whale floating on his back.
I determined that it was in distress and jumped into the ocean to give him mouth-to-mouth.
Turns out he was just trying to get a tan on his stomach.

And why would anyone try to move a rattler? They’re useless for pest control as they eat very infrequently, they have few predator threats yet they cause painful deaths to animals large and small, and they want to kill you and your dog for gardening or farming or hiking, etc.
Not to mention, they are extremely fast little devils and if they want out of the road, they’ll get out of the road without any outside assistance. But do bambi a favor and run over the sucker.

Prayers up for the man’s family. There are many variables involved in snake bites. About 50% of bites are dry, meaning no toxin injected. Snake venoms are biologically expensive to synthesize. Actually rattlesnakes carry a cocktail of half dozen toxins. If it has been a month or more since the snake’s last meal he may inject considerable quantities. Most rattlers have a fairly potent cardiotoxic component which was likely responsible for this man’s death. I seen a number of lethal cases in horses.
