I'm not sure which one is my favourite. The ginger in the middle, or the pedo-smile one on the left with the neck bandana.
Rattlesnake pranks are the best...here is one I did several years ago:
I had killed this snake earlier in the day. He was actually headless in this pic (I always bury the head after I lop it off). Anyway, one of my buddies was having a party that night so we tucked it under his front door mat where everyone coming over would see it. Freaked the fuck out of a lot of people that night! As people would show up, our phones kept ringing.
The calls were mostly like “dude! There is a huge snake on the porch!!!” And then we’d be like “oh yeah, he’s cool, just step over him” Several people actually got back in their cars and left haha
LMAO! I will do this prank before I die.Rattlesnake pranks are the best...here is one I did several years ago:

This is because there's still a bite/inject venom reflex even hours after death, right?
Yep, and also just to dispose of the venom. I’ve never see the head still moving/biting, but the body will writhe for hours sometimes. Kind of freaky to see one moving like 3 hours after it was decapitated.
But even when it’s dead, the venom is still stored in the head (and still 100% potent). It’s just a redneck-y rule of safety I’ve adopted in the event someone gets poked by one of the fangs or the reflexes are working and it bites.

This is the kind of shit I spend my life at work thinking about.
How can I fuck with my co-workers or scare them?
Fun times
You never watched bear Grylls?
That’s exactly what I’m afraid of and try to avoid. Sounds like that guy got a lot of venom and had a strong reaction. It always sucks to get bit, but some people react worse than others. And no way to know until you get bit. Adult snakes can control how much venom they issue in a bite (they can use the right amount depending on size of prey, and also to not waste venom supply unnecessarily). I wonder if the reflex bite just dumps the whole supply.
I never touch or have my hands around the head, always use a shovel or snake tongs. It’s a weird rush having encounters with dangerous wildlife, always gets my heart racing. The brain goes into hyper-alert mode. It’s huge sigh of relief when the head is finally buried and I can calm down hah.
I nearly run a fucken rattlesnake over on a runway at night. I almost climbed on the roof. Fuck those things, I ain't messing with em
I’ve been around a lot of rattlers. I’m afraid of them every time. I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable around one, at least not in close proximity.
If that snake wasn't high or stoned on whatever they filled it's food with, Darwin would have prevailed. Oh yeahAnd could you imagine walking along and encountering one of these filthy cocksucker's?

Turned out to be a rat snake. Just northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Large rat snake discovered hiding in shopping carts at Walmart in Texas
Be careful which cart you choose — there may be a slithering surprise waiting inside.
A cart attendant at a Walmart in Texas got quite the scare on Friday after discovering a large rat snake in a group of shopping carts.
The Northeast Police Department said in a Facebook post that the reptile had worked its way into the group of carts at a return area of the Walmart in Cross Roads, located north of Dallas.
"A loud scream across the parking lot at Walmart drew the attention of an NEPD Officer who was patrolling the area, at dusk this evening," the department said.
Officials called in a man known as "The Snake Charmer," identified as John Heckaman of Savannah, Texas, who helped in relocating the snake.
Heckaman, however, was bitten once during the process, according to police.
"Recent heavy rains are forcing a lot of snakes out of their natural habitats, and this goes to show, that they can turn up just about anywhere," police said.
Rat snakes are non-venomous and typically found in fields and woodlands across the country, including Connecticut, the Carolinas, Kansas and Oklahoma, according to the National Wildlife Federation.
“Black rat snakes are excellent swimmers and climbers. They will use these skills to catch a variety of food, from bird eggs to frogs,” the federal agency says online. “They are the snake most likely to be seen around buildings hunting for rodents, amphibians, and young birds. Black rat snakes are constrictor snakes and will use their body to suffocate their prey.”
According to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, rat snakes mate in late May and early June.
