I don’t usually kill snakes but if a in that case it would be chopped with a machete. Too close to home.

It is not that big of a deal... He had the front end of the snake controlled with the tongs.... Which I really hate using on snakes... IT has to be life or death for the snake before I break out the tongs.... He could have controlled that situation just as easily with a snake hook....
The way he had the tongs on the snake really was not protecting him.... At first he had the snake hook. At that point he should have pinned the head on the ground and grabbed the snake right behind the head.
I tend to think the snake would have come out easier if he had straightened it out.. then gently pulled in a straight line.

that just shows you why one needs to keep a bottle of snake oil handy...

I’m sorry I just don’t like snakes. Rattlesnakes aren’t bad coated and fried. I haven’t tried any others. I bet indigo would be good, it eats rattlers. |

I can’t tell if he’s extremely Knowledgeable or just ‘seasoned’ He does some intersting things across the globe |

I can’t tell if he’s extremely Knowledgeable or just ‘seasoned’ He does some intersting things across the globe I have seen some of his videos and shorts..... He Seems to have some knowledge.......
And he is young and QUICK!!!
A lot of the stuff he posts are to get a reaction and have people think he is crazy and fearless.
I make and post videos that are somewhat similar..... I am mostly trying to get a reaction out of my wife, my sister and my mom.
But he takes some very foolish chances.... People say the same thing about me....
But is one misstep away from something very bad happening.. Antagonizing alligators with his bare feet, at very close distance.
Double Free handing Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes.....
Age is going to catch up with his reflexes at some point....
And I did some super foolish and down right stupid stuff with critters when I was young.....
But now we have the internet and youtube.... Aside from hurting himself, he could hurt others.... Because his videos will appeal to his age... other young guys will go out and try to emulate his stunts. But they do not have his knowledge....
This video is some down right stupid shit.

Sorry, I’m rooting for the snake. Harassing wildlife for clicks.

I pick up and or otherwise handle snakes in the woods all the time.
To admire them..... Move them off the trail and roads I am on.......
I often video them... I like to carry on conversations with critters... Because it is fun...
I won't drive by a snake in the woods without moving it off the trail or tram road... Nor will I drive by a gator without moving it either...
I had a nice conversation with this one on South Grade Road in Richloam..
