Notice how the snake is moving the tongue up and down as if to say, "I'm warning you! I don't want to have to do this, but I SO will if you make me! Back up! Back up and we can all live to talk another day! If not, one of us is going to have a REAL unpleasant story to tell AND IT WON'T BE ME! Think about it! BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND, MAKE SURE YOU GET MY GOOD SIDE!". The first time I EVER heard a rattlesnake was in South Dakota. I was prepared because I knew I was in snake country. However, I was hiking and the sound sounded like it was coming from everywhere! It was SO LOUD! I was so shocked that I didn't even look around to see the snake, I just took off running the way I came. I was so fast that the rattlesnake didn't know what to do! I know that snake was thinking "Wow! I didn't know they could move that fast!". LMAO! GREAT FOOTAGE!

Excellent filming! I find the defensive posture of the diamondbacks much different, and much more pronounced that that of other rattlesnake species. I’m really surprised that you are able to find rattlers as bad as they are persecuted. Timber rattlesnakes here in West Virginia are almost extirpated completely. If may take days, weeks, months or maybe even years before you see one. There is a nature observatory here that usually has one on display along with a copperhead, but again they are becoming very rare. And as I understand the eastern diamondbacks are also on the endangered species list. Hopefully somehow that can be reversed, like it has with the bald eagle.

I've come across quite a few rattlesnakes in my life. Most just want to be left alone. Snakes usually only bite if stepped on,handled or messed with. Keep your distance,leave them alone and you won't have anything to worry about.

We have to understand that a snake is just that a snake! But a very vicious animal if you mess with him to much right? He'll get angry! You can't make a snake a pet like you do your Golden Retriever..that ain't going to happen! Because even if you try to put lipstick on a snake he's still a snake...but..do you ever wonder why God created this snake with a rattle? You'd think to yourself well it doesn't really serve any purpose right? Well that it is true, but just to make the snake look more menacing and as a defense mechanism..because people hear that rattle going off and it scares the crap outta them!

Do they usually rattle if they hear you coming up on them from a distance or do they wait until the last minute if you startle one? For safety I am bringing trekking poles and wearing gaiters over my hiking boots and pants.
