@@LivingZoology I grew up near Bakersfield CA and have gone herping my whole life. I've met quite a few Mojave Greens, many that were much more green looking than the ones shown here. I've helped quite a few cross the road safely. They seem to have a better temperament the older they are. My favorite rattlers are these big rock colored ones that match the rock of the mine that they're in. There's a few big old ones in Joshua Tree Park that are pretty much tame snakes and seem to find people interesting. A couple of them have heads that look like large toads, and if you sit down they sometimes slither into your lap for a minute, but like, before it gets awkward, they cruise on...

@@nicolesanders6878 Welcome to Tucson!! I'm assuming you're talking about Rocking K on the east side near the Rincon mountains. That's an area with a lot of natural habitat and it's pretty likely you'll see a snake at some point, especially if your yard is unfenced. Rattlers aren't at all aggressive and if you encounter one really all you have to do is walk away slowly. Their venom is for hunting, not defense, and they don't want to waste it on something they can't eat. If one slithers towards you just move to the side, it's not chasing you, it's moving to a hiding spot. On your own property try to avoid leaving any kind of debris like tarps or woodpiles out which could give them a good hiding spot. If you have to move something like that pick it up slowly from the opposite side. They also like to den in sheds or under porches in the winter so make sure that's all closed up tight. If you see one in the yard there's no need to kill it, call the fire department or a commercial service (Rattlesnake Solutions is a good one, their youtube channel also has lots of good info/advice) to relocate it. In the desert just keep your eyes open, know where you're putting your hands and feet at all times, and make sure your kids know to do the same. It's also worthwhile to get snake avoidance training for your dogs if you have them. If someone does get bit call 911 asap and get them to a hospital. The only effective treatment for a snakebite is antivenom, which every hospital here should have. There is no effective first aid you can give them otherwise, and "venom extractors", tourniquets, etc can often make the problem worse.

I've lived in both the rural Mojave Desert in California and Mohave County in Arizona for the last 17 years and I've never killed a single snake of any species I've ever come across, and I've come across a lot. I let the Bullsnakes, Red Racers and Kingsnakes stay on my property, but I have captured and relocated 4 Mojaves and 1 Diamondback in the last 7 years here in AZ that were on my property and too close to my house. I even let the Giant Arizona Hairy scorpions and Solifigaes hang out near my house (they control the insects like snakes control rodents), but I do kill the Bark Scorpions, Black Widows and Arizona Browns whenever they're around my property. I much prefer having a few non deadly snakes and insect predators around my house than having an infestation of highly destructive disease -ridden rodents and insects that can truly poison you.

Finally, someone else who understands that these creatures have their roles in keeping rodents in check. I personally don't like spiders especially black widows and brown recluse spiders. They can bite you without being noticed, and their venom is very toxic. I usually kill them..sorry. However, I really like rattlesnakes. I respect them, but I never kill them, just relocate them. I especially like the Mojave rattlesnake for its uniqueness of color pattern and neurotoxic venom...highly dangerous if bitten. I've kept various rattlesnakes at various times throughout my life. Usually catch them out on the road, and either get them off the road or used to keep them from late fall to early spring and feed them up really good. I have a hook as well as 4' tongs to deal with them. Most people kill them out of abnormal fear and ignorance, because they were taught this. I wish more people were more educated and sensible, like you and I are regarding these needful creatures.

I find the 1s that live down by Patagonia near border with Mexico are extremely aggressive as well as up in Wickenburg , AZ . They charge at you its hilarious but serious to keep clear of the angry 1s 😮

Some of them don't see them, of course. But honestly, most snakes are amazingly well visible on the road and roads in Arizona are mostly totally without any cars. We cruised 11, 000 kilometers in Arizona and have some experience with the behavior of drivers and we can say, that many people kill snakes in purpose.

Ah the good ole Mojave green! These guys will 100% stand their ground! I’ve had many an encounter with both the Mojave green and the western. Both are beautiful creatures that just want to be left alone. They are definitely not to be messed with and will strike if provoked. And it’s true a Mojave green will rattle much more than a western. I’ve come across a few westerns that don’t rattle at all. But every Mojave green will rattle it seems when you come within 10-15’ of. Another quality video thank you for sharing! These snakes really need much more attention to the people because I hear from way too many who just want them killed. What’s sad is those people either have never came across one or only one time in their life.
@LivingZoology
@LivingZoology 4 года назад
Yes, these snakes are beautiful and very important for ecosystems! Mojave Greens just have such nature, they are nervous and stand their ground. But as you wrote, they just want to have their space. Only if they feel threatened, they will strike. We don't remember any of Mojaves striking at us, rattling was enough for them.
@BenWilson24
@BenWilson24 2 года назад
I've come across a few of the Mojave rattlesnakes and I was definitely made aware of their presence. It's been a mixed bag for the westerns. I came across one one a trail that just laid straight and didn't really move at all. I didn't notice it until I got pretty close, but I'm glad I did because I had my dog with me and idk how my dog would have reacted if he saw the snake. I just picked him up quickly and made my way around at a distance

Never rattled once. The rattle was mostly broken off. I have a fair picture of it. Just an hour before, we were shooting paintball at each other in his habitat. We had no idea.

Great video. Am pretty well informed on Crotalus, and southwestern ones in particular. I would only add two things: one is that they have inhabited these deserts for infinitely far longer than humans. We have invaded their biome, not vice versa. Show them the respect they surely deserve. Additionally, some of the markings differentiating Mojave from C atrox, such as ocular stripes, require a fairly close inspection if using the naked eye. The Diamondback is responsible for most of the bites in the region. It can be a very large snake and can be defensive. I would NEVER use the word 'aggressive' with any snake. We pose a major threat to them, and they will strike. The only snake bite death I have any personal knowledge of (a friend of a friend died from being bitten) was bitten by Crotalus viridus helleri, the Southern Pacific rattlesnake. The northern Pacific, found where I live, C viridus oregano's, bit a woman, a friend of my mother, in about 1964. She was on her hands and knees, gardening, and put her hand down right on a Northern Pacific, which bit her and heavily envenomated her in her wrist, right near veins and major arteries. She spent eight months in hospital, required enormous amounts of CroFab, the polyvalent antivenin used for pit vipers in the US. For the remainder of her life, another thirty years, she had periodic black outs and other reminders. I am not trying to frighten people, just show respect and keep a reasonable distance. I love these creatures, perhaps the ultimate underdog: no legs, essentially deaf and eyesight not always so keen. The heat sensing pits and keen sense of smell compensate. So enjoy them, but watch where you step and put your hands. A few simple precautions allow you to share their world, with no harm to either party. Again, thanks for a fantastic series of videos. No hyperbole or myth or just bad info. Five stars!

Thank you for pointing out how rare it is for a human to die of snakebite in the US. Growing up in south-central Ark. in the '50s-'60s in a region of deep forest & few human inhabitants, I was taught from early childhood how to walk in the woods in ways that protected me from snakebite. My father & aunts were hunters & in the '50s still hunted for deer, squirrels, & turkeys as part of our still fairly traditional native southeastern diet, which was based on corn, beans, & squash which we grew in our gardens, with meat & fish as well but not on a daily basis. Most people in our community (perhaps 100 people, with small houses spread out over miles of woods with only small dirt or gravel roads) were distantly related from Cherokees who had escaped the 1838 forced removal from our homeland in what's now N.C., & in the '50s many of them still grew most of their own food & hunted for meat supplements during the cold seasons, fishing in warmer seasons more. There were several types of rattlesnakes common in the region, including the eastern diamondback, the ground rattler, & the pigmy rattler, & there were copperheads. Till into the '60s, when two major international timber corporations set up operations in the area, there was still miles of first-growth forest & many miles of mature second-growth forest, with many streams & natural ponds & with a major river (the Saline River) with miles of first-growth cypress groves. By the '80s most of the forests had been destroyed by the intense timbering practices of the two international corporations, one of which practiced clear-cutting & the other practicing 'select' cutting, with their own genetically engineered 'super-pines' planted to replace the native forests of various species. The only part of the forests that survived was that which grew near the river, such as cypress & other trees adapted to boggy comditions & annual flooding from the river. The last 'virgin' forest I knew of, an incredibly beautiful area full of life, was cut down in '67 or '68, miles of deep forest which had been owned by two sisters, whose grandparents had been early white settlers there & who left the forests in their wills to their only relative, under the condition that the virgin forest be left alone. The heir had the entire forest cut down a few years after inheriting his aunts' properties, his given reason being that he wanted to have a view of the 'lay of the land' (he had inherited wealth, did not cut the forest for the money). A long weird story like something from Flannery O'Conner, as he soon became a total hermit who was terrified of his aunts coming from their graves to punish him for cutting the forest, even after he'd had their nearby graves cemented over & had surrounded his cabin with 3 high fences & patrolled by wolfhounds & peacocks.) Our house, like most there, was surrounded by woods except on the front side facing the road, with our yard extending into the edge of the woods, the yard kept free of underbrush but otherwise looking like a clearing in the forest. Occasionally snakes from the woods would come into our yard without realizing it wasn't just a clearing. And occasionally a rattler (or less often a copperhead) would be spotted near our house & my parents would kill it. The unstated rule was to kill any snake in the yard but to leave them alone in the woods-- though many people back then would kill any rattlesnake they saw anywhere. At one point we had a bunch of pigmy rattlers nesting in a shed behind our house, along with the black widow spiders who had started nesting there. I had great fun watching the spiders, knowing to just watch & not threaten them, until my father smoked them & the pigmy rattlers out. Although my mother had a phobia of snakes & had ordered me to kill any snake I saw in the yard, I couldn't kill any after I had killed the first one I'd been ordered to kill, a common little greensnake. So from about age 8, I stopped telling her if I saw a snake in the yard. Much later, early '70s, my 5 yr old ran into the house yelling that there was a rattlesnake in his sandbox, which was near the house. I went out to find a big rattler (4-5') curled up in a corner of the sandbox, the rattler seeming to be just waking from a nap as I walked up. I had to get it out of the yard, both for my son's safety & its own--- I knew my mother would kill it when she got home. The snake woke up fast when it saw me. I kept out of striking distance while trying to get it to move out of the yard. It watched me very closely as it moved away, keeping its head turned to watch me, keeping its body partly coiled to strike if necessary as it moved away. I kept my distance but kept moving toward it as it moved away, hoping it would soon make a run for the woods. Probably if I had left it alone after first alarming it, it would've fled for the woods anyway. But it took a while, the snake moving away from me while keeping a close eye on me in case I tried to hurt it, so as it made its way in that semi-coiled position, I kept expecting it to make a run.for it but it was too frightened. Finally we were about 10' from the edge of the woods & the snake took off, disappeared into the bushes in a flash. It was an eastern diamond-back, I suppose a young adult. That was the only time I was ever threatened by a rattlesnake, & that one threatened me only in self defense. There were lots of rattlesnakes in the woods where i often played as a child & where as an adult I often wandered or spent hours sitting in deep forest. I knew there were snakes & rattlesnakes were common, but I moved in the woods in ways I had been taught, mainly making sure the snakes knew I was coming so that I didn't surprise them & cause them to become threatened. In some 25 yrs of living in the woods, walking almost daily in the woods, I rarely saw a rattlesnake, not because they weren't there but because I moved in ways to let them know I was there in time for them to hide or move away. These videos are the best I've seen on poisonous snakes. It's great to see such beautiful photography as this but also to see the snakes in their environments, not in set up situations where they're shown grabbing mice or rabbits, etc. Best I've seen!

A lot of people don’t understand how it would impact our ecosystem if these animals were not there anymore, they just want to live like we do. Humans invade their homes which puts us in the path of coming into contact with them. Most bites occur from not seeing the snake and getting to close or from someone deliberately antagonizing the animal. Great vid and awesome camera work!!!!

In some cases if the rattlesnake feels very threatened and the threat is close it might think that it is too late for rattling and goes for bite straight away.

Minute 7:57 , the guy knows he will be filming Snakes and he choses to wear sandals as opposed to high boots. I'm sure they are pros but this a a bad example even for kids. - Extremely good video though! I really liked it specially since I live in Los Angeles, California not far from these deserts.

We absolutely agree, we shouldn't have included the shot in the video. Our friend chose to wear sandals, which is maybe fine for an experienced person. But it is not a great example. We always wear proper shoes when we work with snakes.

As I viewed more of the video, the type "A", venom is what I was speaking of. Their are species of the Southern Pacific with type A venom in certain areas of So Cal. Maybe you can touch on this.

It would be awesome to return back and film more rattlesnake species!

I was bitten by a mojave rattlesnake when I was 9 years old. My grandfather (retired US Navy) knew how to suck out the poison. Probably saved my life.

Interesting! Nowadays sucking the venom out is not advised as the venom can go into any wound in the mouth and also it is not possible to suck out all the venom.

I think they’re awesome. Here in New Jersey, we have Timber Rattlesnakes, which have a very potent type A venom. I have a few on my property that are tracked by the NJ Dept of Fish and Wildlife. They have trackers implanted in them. They are also endangered here.

Beautiful filming, the writing is just a little difficult to read on some shots.

Im a geologist out near Kingman AZ so naturally we have tons of rattlesnakes and I gotta say the only thing in the desert that scares me is a Green Mojave, Their bit is 20 times worse than any other rattlesnake venom.

Yes, a bite from Mojave rattlesnake is very dangerous. Stay safe! Check out our full documentary about rattlesnakes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rq2k4Tzu198.html
