The Cascabel Rattlesnake's venom makes them one of the deadliest snakes in the region. What fascinates you most about this snake?

It is 8am. I've watched 3 movies since midnight. Guess it's time to learn about a rattlesnake 🤷‍♂️

How considerate are rattlesnakes they give you a audible warning that they are there and don't mess with them

[TheStrtshooter]

I never knew that rattlesnakes were born without rattles and they gradually grow larger as the snake sheds its skin. Very interesting!

Respect to the guy for literally getting bitten and then dying for the video

[AzlianaLyana]

Yeah, let's not cross paths... Have a great weekend everyone 😊

Young rattlesnake: Mommy, are we venomous?
Momma rattlesnake: Of course we are. Why?
Young rattlesnake: I just bit my tongue.

Amazing! Dangerous, deadly and mortal, yet very beautiful

[sarahwatkins]

I've watched this series many times, because I'm just so fascinated by snakes ❤

[jacoblofthus]

You know, rattlesnakes are one of the very first animals that really fascinated me as a kid.

SNAKES ARE NOT AGGRESSIVE!!! 🤬🤬🤬 Stop scaremongering & tell the truth they are defensive. They flee first fight if necessary!! 🐍🐍 Beautiful creatures 🐍

The bite re-enactment isnt accurate in my experience with rattlesnakes (growing up in West Texas they're everywhere).

In my experience, they've almost always rattled a warning.

[jacob]

i can't believe they've actually found someone who was willing to die for this video

[andycraddock]

Video of these Bad Boys and Girls is plenty close enough thank you. They go their way, I’ll go mine.
