I knew a guy who kept a bunch of rattler’s at his house. He was bit many times and one finally got him in the end.
I read somewhere recently that the Eastern Diamondback has a striking speed of 90 mph.
Have no use for snakes — don’t care if they do reduce Bubonic Plague in the southwest. Get rat poison or rat traps or something else besides relying on those ugly critters.
They get too big anyway so they must be eating too much to get to be so big and fat. Snakes are not supposed to be so fat.
