This is seriously the best rattlesnake educational show out there! The compassion you guys show the animals is so wonderful. Thank you for doing what you do!
I love this channel. I recently found it and cant stop watching. I knew very little about rattlesnakes prior to viewing this channel. Now I feel like I have a pretty good handle on how these snakes are and have a new found respect for these snakes. Thanks for educating us.
My first close up encounter with a Mojave rattlesnake I was very excited and also kind of disappointed. The disappointment was because all it did was get into a ball and look at my friend and myself. I was the first to approach it, so it gave me a little warning but not for long. I walked away from the encounter, after making sure it got off of the asphalt road and back into the desert where it belonged, and thought, that was not scary at all. Very well-behaved rattlesnake.
Glad you guys put out full video. The shorts are a nice connection but a longer story is always better. Jeff I see a lot of what you do is dispel rumors.
So glad you did not have to crawl around too long under the house in that stinking heat Jeff. What beautiful Mojave Rattlenakes! Awesome job Marissa! As always a super informative video! Thank you for all the debunking too! Also Jeff: in Portland we got hella loud CIVICS etc too!! So annoying too
Great job educating and treating these animals with respect. I had to move a WDB off my property and used your videos to build my courage. I took my time, calmly handled the animal and it showed now defensive behavior at all. Safely relocated it to a local wilderness area. Would have left it but it was hanging out under my porch and in the garden.
Can you use just one kind of anti venom for the various kinds of rattlesnake species that are out there or does the anti venom have to come from each different rattlesnake species? I really enjoy watching your TH-cam videos because they are really informative & interesting to me. Keep up the great work guys!!
Crofab antivenom is made from the venom of several pit viper species (rattlesnake, copperhead and cottonmouth) and is the antivenom of choice for pit viper envenomations in the US. I think there are other antivenom brands that may be Iess expensive like Anavip, but I'm not positive if it's wideIy avaiIabIe in the US or not yet. Hope that heIps.
Excellent, I wish more people wouId coexist with our wild animal friends. ❤ Snakes get so much undeserved hate. I live in a rural area and see so many critters, I Iove it 😊 I couId never Iive in the city, I trust animaIs more than I do peopIe 😂
Great videos. Two families moved out of the city . They should enjoy the country life better. Brian I am afraid of snakes and flying. Good thing I haven't been in a plane with snakes 😮
I've been doing work at some property just south of the vulture mine by wickenburg. Owner says he's found two snakes in 18months didn't specify they were rattlesnakes. Because the work I'm doing has me trudging through brush, in washes, picking up old piles of construction debris I'm hypervigilant about watching my step. In the 3 months I've been out there I've seen no snakes and just one set of sidewinder tracks in a wash. Not that I want to have a snake disrupting my work but am I just incredibly un/lucky? Or have I probably been blindly walking over them? I mean there are snakes out there, right?
That's considered to be outdated advice, if you know it's a rattIesnake or other venomous snake, that's good enough. If you can safeIy and quickIy snap a picture of it, if you're not sure what it is, (without taking extra time), that's fine but the most important thing to do if you think you've been bitten by a venomous snake, is to stay caIm and get to the nearest hospital asap, without panicking. There's onIy one antivenom for pit viper bites, which includes rattIesnakes, copperheads and cottonmouths so the exact species doesn't matter. The Dr's can teII by your symptoms, what systems the venom is affecting and how to treat you.
I don’t understand the need to always remove the snake. I live in the woods in TN. There are copperheads, rattlesnakes, coral snakes as well as several non venomous species. I don’t bother them. They don’t bother me. In the 40 years I’ve lived here, I’ve relocated one snake. A copperhead that found its way in the house and took up residence in my husband’s sock drawer. I took him down the hill and let him go near the creek.
You’d actually be surprised at how often we talk people out of having snakes (mostly non-venomous) removed, which obviously isn’t something that is seen on video.
When talking about rattlesnake bites, you stated that if bitten you would be O.K. "although a little broker". How about addressing why anti-venom is so much more expensive in the U.S. than other countries. Several yrs. ago, I think when "Venom One (?)" was on Animal Planet, I remember someone stated that anti-venom in the states at that time was approx. $1,000 per vile but only around $100 per vile in other countries. Please explain.
Nah, with antivenom wideIy available in the US, snakebite deaths are very rare. Approx 5-7 a year and that incIudes peopIe who keep and handIe venomous snakes as weII as the religious foIks who beIieve in taking up serpents in their church services. Often they wiII refuse medicaI treatment, relying on their faith to save them. When you think of how many peopIe hike, mountain bike, camp and so on, that's a pretty Iow number. If you get medicaI heIp in a timeIy fashion, your chances are very good that you will survive. These foIks are trained professionaIs, do not try to deaI with a venomous snake yourseIves.

Beautiful! I’ve seen 12 just this year in the lower Salt River trail area. Great stuff!
What a beautiful snake the Mojave is. So glad you did a video devoted to this species.

Gonna need you guys to not take as long a break in between posting videos….. you’re the highlight of my TH-cam time!

lol, it's too funny that you were disappointed because he wasn't aggressive
Glad you guys put out full video. The shorts are a nice connection but a longer story is always better. Jeff I see a lot of what you do is dispel rumors.
7:48 that one looks possibIy gravid as well. Aww, scaley babies are so adorable 😊
Awesome video!! That’s what I find mostly in my yard is Mojaves and sidewinders. (probably have a bunch under my mobile too)

I wish her a happy delivery of her babies ❤
Yay! I've been waiting for another video from you guys. 😊

Jeff and Marisa the two of you do a great job I love what the two of you do looks like you had a busy Mojave day .
I was itching for a new episode! Mojave’s are seriously beautiful! That Gravid female had such a cool aberrant double diamond on its back!
Your first sentence in the car should have ended, "...and we _NEVER_ get guitar-related swag dusty."
Enjoy watching y'all's interactions with these fascinating animals

@@metalmamasue3680 Yes it does help & I didn’t know that. How interesting. Thank You for replying to my answer😊
But Jeff my cousins friends cousin had a Mojave cut their power, throw a brick though their window, tie them up and ate them live.
Don't forget moIesting the dog and kidnapping the cat 😅
Small world…. Mine too. 😳🤣
@@metalmamasue3680 hahaha 😂
😂😂
😂😂
What a great team!
Interesting.. I see a couple a year at my place. Try to coexist since there are no kids or pets. They have all been very calm, usually resting.
Excellent, I wish more people wouId coexist with our wild animal friends. ❤ Snakes get so much undeserved hate.

They are beautiful.
Well said Jeff!
I think they are beautiful!
Hey Jeff, crazy question were you on Yawi Vlogs the other day? By the way love your compassion for the snakes.
Haha, yes I was!
Very cool! I was trying so hard to place you and then I remembered seeing you on rattlesnake solutions.
I want Jeff's shirt! No...I want a shirt just like Jeff's!

Ordered! Thanks! Keep up the amazing work. I watch and learn from every video you put out!
VENOM EXPERT , forgot to mention tissue / muscle damage , oft times leaving massive scars ..
I answered this in a live video, which you can find on our channel. Thanks!
I read that the same type of antivenom worlds on all the rattlesnakes so if one is bitten one does not need to identify the type of rattlesnake.

My daughter has a puppy pitbull & she's not agressive she's well behaved, it just depends on how you raise them

Story I was told was you had to identify the snake that bit you for the proper anti venom is that true?
That's considered to be outdated advice, if you know it's a rattIesnake or other venomous snake, that's good enough.

The Dr's can teII by your symptoms, what systems the venom is affecting and how to treat you.

How does rattlesnake solutions charge for a removal ??
Idk if that information wouId be on their website, or if you have to call for specifics.

Ask your IocaI poIitician brought to you by big pharma. It's ridiculous how overpriced it is in the US.
Pit Bulls were the first Nanny dogs. People in bred them and ruined the breed.
Haha that is an urban legend. They are pit fighting dogs, nothing less.
First!
One of them things bites you, it ends with a game over screen.

Not if you get antivenom usually
