Pygmy Rattlesnake Strike!

I give you an up close look at the smallest species of rattlesnake in Florida, the Pygmy Rattlesnake. Quick and feisty, this is a snake that you definitely want to admire from a safe distance...watch at how fast it strikes at me!

This is better than watching wild life shows on TV, because you can go find EVERY episode, plus he has much more episodes than wild life TV shows.

I've always thought these guys were particularly beautiful-- their patterns are *exactly* like pine-bark.  Growing up in NW Florida (Panama City) I saw a few, mostly out in the bayou areas or in St. Andrews State Park; but while at a camping trip up on the border of Alabama, I was walking down a hilly trail right at evening in way too much of a hurry when I heard a rattle start up RIGHT in front of me.  I was moving too quickly and with too much momentum to stop; I stumbled and then turned the stumble into a hop, landed about three feet further down the trail and looked back to see a Pygmy Rattler shoot back uphill at an angle and into the underbrush.  I had jumped right over him or her, probably scaring the poor thing half to death!  I was lucky, and so was the snake-- I didn't get bitten and it didn't get stepped on.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this channel. It's so informative, fun and educational. Half the animals you find, I never heard of or seen in person. I live vicariously through you😂😂😂😂🙏🏼.. I have a fear of almost everything you find. Especially spiders, snakes, centipedes--anything that can kill me.

I like how they flash that disclaimer for half a second as if to say "You don't care, we don't care, we know you just wanna see some cool shit."

I live in NC and when I was 11 my friend and I were playing around in the woods behind my house at an old play set my neighbor's had and after stepping onto the first platform I noticed that there was a snake just a few inches from where my foot was. We went to the museum later that day and I recognized the snake from earlier as a pygmy rattle snake

Coyote!! I don't deserve the pack that you're giving away on your most recent video but I would really love to have it so that I can be prepared when disasters strike. I just don't want to be that person who is not prepared for any situation that I may face. By winning this pack I can move closer to my goals of getting what I need in case of emergency! Thanks for choosing me and for making amazing videos!! 😊😊😊

We have a colony of Eastern Massasagua rattle snakes about 10 minutes from my house. My uncles caroentry shop backs up to where they are mostly found, called rattlesnake gulch and theyre a threatened species. My cousin caught one once and brought it to the bar in a bucket only to have a EPA agent show up, lol. He got lucky the guy was cool and just told him to take it back and let him go...

Omg when he said Pygmy rattlesnake I thought immediately PYGMYPUFF

[felipegrille]

Yah man.. me and my 13 yr old daughter just came across on down here on the treasure coast.. I wasn't a 100$sure but the video confirmed it..thnks

I live in Florida and almost stepped on one a few days ago. My friend and I were walking to her mailbox and we came about two feet as it blended in on the road.Thankfully, she saw it as it could've tagged either of us on the feet or ankles. I instantly knew it was a pygmy rattlesnake. Was rather scary as I've seen non venomous black racers on occasion, but this was the first time I saw a rattlesnake. It was about a foot and a half. No wait, it was six feet long and real thick. No, it was the size of an anaconda and saw it swallow a wild big. No seriously, I watched it slowly slither off into the grass by someone's home and they had their garage door open.

I'm so, so glad I watched the video on pygmy in Florida. The Pink Pygmy I found in Eastern N.C. never moved, was so shy a guess!?!?!! It was beautiful and maybe deceiving, I thought Pygmy's were slow, sluggish, not prone to bite - also - the color was so different - now I could spot the other kinds (Hopefully!!!) Thank you!!
