I always like it when you see a snake respond so calmly. That rattler was really stuck, but just calmly hid without needing to threaten Marissa when she released it, knowing she wasnt a threat and actually helped it out.
I have binge watched like 100 of your videos the last week..... gradually getting less afraid of them (but without losing respect for the potential danger), but this one had me terrified. I am amazed by the skill and bravery of all of you at Rattlesnake Solutions. Both the community and the snakes are lucky to have you.
Again I have a borderline unhealthy respect of snakes. I keep my distance and stay alert. But dang people glue traps like these are awful. Just like snare and coil traps are heinous. Rarely catches the intended animal wreaks havoc. I am soooooo grateful the oil trick works and you guys are trained and do this. Like mad respect!
I've said it before, but thank you for doing this work! I will always recommend against glue traps. By the way, I *did* have to go back to make sure I really heard Marissa tell the snake to wipe itself off. XD
Pest control put some of those in a pet store I worked at. Well.. it caught things that had escaped. I got a couple baby corns off ok with butter. After that pest control was not allowed to use those in the store. Nice of you to save the mouse too.
I wish I’d known about oil some years back, when I found a mouse in a sticky trap at work. Not knowing what else to do, I dispatched it. That was not something I would *ever* want to do again. If I ever come across anything in one of those nasty things again, at least I’ll know what to do now, so thanks for that!
The best, fastest way to "dispatch" something on a glue board is to put it in a bag, and then put the bag behind the wheel of your car. Reverse. Throw bag away. It's horrible but it's quick.
I'm a grown old man who has seen a great deal of death through my job and never affected me much. But one time I used a glue trap n caught a mouse. I couldn't remove it n I cried like a baby. Never used again
glue traps are awful. They're cruel for rodents that'll die in a couple days without food and water. Snakes can waste away for weeks before finally succumbing. Worst kind of animal trap.
I never saw a night snake!! Thx for showing! Those sticky traps should be outlawed. I put one out for rats in my yard. And 3 sparrows (mama, daddy, baby) all got caught. I used olive oil and removed them. I hope they are ok.
The one thing sticky glue traps are good for is those giant Asian "murder" hornets. I've seen videos where Asian beekeepers use them to prevent the hornets from destroying their honeybee hives.
The most dangerous snakes in Arizona are the ones who run the Maricopa county elections department! Anyway, great work with those glue traps, Marissa has the hands of a surgeon.
@@yupyupyup4444, you’re too kind. You gave both a fighting chance! I was the guy from Colorado who called and spoke with you a few weeks back about the work you all do. I really did appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. If I can ever help you guys out with anything, let me know.
I agree these sticky traps they should be outlawed the Humane Society should press stores to stop carrying them and the manufacturers to stop making them they're absolutely cruel and they're disgusting and the people who use them they don't even realize how cruel it is and disgusting to even use them shame on these people that buy them .
OMG! These glue traps should be banned. This has been going on for years. People stop buying them. So inhumane! People that buy these contribute to the glue traps. SMH
@Rattlesnake Solutions , admittedly I was being a bit snippy in my OP, so if you roast the heck out of me in your video, then I deserve it. Part of the reason I posted what I did is because we had a rodent infestation in my apartment building where the rodents chewed holes in the walls. They were getting into people's food and could have chewed through wires. Our landlord had to put out poison.
Wow. I have never seen anyone do anything that risky. I'm all about looking after our planet and its creatures, great or small. I am not all about tempting whatever gods may be. Hands within inches of a seriously venomous reptile.? Average snake bite something between $100 and $150k.? and still possibly losing some fingers or a hand.? Possibly a life.? Nah. I hate it for the bear or wolf or coyote that is shot for climbing into the neighborhood dumpster. I hate it for the dogs put down for attacking a human. But here is the deal: we will continue to increase our numbers and expand our range which means we will steadily invade other creature's territory. Encounters are sometimes ugly. Sadly, though, the only animals that will likely ultimately survive are the ones that learn to live with us, reproduce faster than we can eliminate them or get as far from us as possible. Gonna miss you guys, and wish you all the best, but a rattlesnake is not worth a human, especially one trying to help it. I just don't want to see the video if the worst happens.
The actions you are seeing are far more controlled than I believe you interpret them as - I appreciate the concern - there's a big difference between risky behavior and professionals at work. We have relocated thousands of rattlesnakes over the past >10yrs without a single medical incident.
Guys, stop buying these things.
seriously!!!

Snake: "Oh sh# oh sh# oh sh# I'm gonna die No, wait, that's that lady from TH-cam..."
I think that was the first rescue that made me nervous for the rescuer. Marissa did a great job staying calm, but I didn't!

I hate glue traps! They are an incredibly cruel invention and should be taken off the market.
100%

Lol it didn’t listen to me either.

Sticky traps.....terrible for animals, dangerous for rescuers. Marissa was amazing!

Sticky traps are one of man's cruelest inventions.
They're also one of the best ways to catch giant spiders running around in your house.
And Scorpions

If you've got snakes you don't need rodent traps.
I learned a new thing! Thanks! I admire the work you do even though I don’t touch snakes, I think they are beautiful and should live.
Removing that rattlesnake in the glue trap with her bare hands seemed really risky to me.
This is actually a much more controlled situaion that it would appear from an outside perspective.
@@RattlesnakeSolutions uh ok.
He must be so exhausted from being stuck.
Sticky traps are cruel!!!!
Awesome saves.
He said is my jaw good stretching it after she tugged him free 😎

Educational
Very cool colored tail!

please tell me you give these homeowners a lesson about how cruel of a death it is to die glued to a board.
I kind of wanted her to toss that mouse in the bucket with the snake.
I had a small gopher snake get caught in one, and used the olive oil.
Did the mouse get fed to the rattlesnake afterwards Marissa?
No I let the mouse go in the desert also. Away from the snake.

Oh hey I remember you. Yeah they both had been struggling so wanted to make sure they both lived. Thank you definitely will.
Mouse could've went in with the snake

At least give the snake a snack and a drink of water.
Ur stuck, who ya gonna call?

Sticky traps are cruel, but what's the alternative to using them? Poison? Letting rodents breed so they can chew holes in everything?
I'm going to address this comment in an upcoming live video. Thanks!
