Lessons from rattlesnake class in the American Southwest

Post by Pivo »

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — In a Phoenix-area venomous snake training course, the first thing students learn is that basically everything they thought they knew about rattlesnakes is a myth.

For starters, rattlesnakes aren't aggressive. They don't rattle to warn that they're about to strike. And they definitely don't chase people.

They'll always give you a rattle as a warning... unless they don't.
