Snakes are more afraid of you becausez you are too big to swallow.
Rattlers are safer than other poisonous snakes because they give you a sound warning when you get close.
Be scared of aggressive snakes such as black mamba, bushmaster or saw scaled viper. Not only they are aggressive, their venoms are deadly.
I hate them all. I don’t discriminate.
Do you know the name of the snake that practically RUNS and a third of its body is upright when it is running??

I did trail maintenance work for 16 years in mountains that were habitat for Timber Rattlesnakes. I can tell you from experience, they do not all rattle! Several, even when coiled to strike because we were hassling them to get them to move on from a work area, just did not rattle (& their rattles were not missing).
For the ones that do rattle, you may still be within their strike zone. What is really scary is to hear one & not see it so you don’t know which way to go to get away from a potential strike - that will get your heart racing for sure!

If I had to choose among venomous snakes to be bitten by, it would be copper head, they don’t always release venom when they bite. *EXCEPTION* The juvenile copperhead, distinctive by their yellow tip tail, they release all they’ve got.
