@L3ONARDO07 It was a threat because it was sitting on their front steps! If it was out in the wilderness where it belongs then I would agree. But trespassing on someone's property makes it a threat. A very venomous threat!

I came across a little rattle snake when I was walking my dogs yesterday. We looked at it for a second and it turned around back the way it was coming from. It was just trying to live its life.

A few negative comments can indeed shadow the many positive ones, but that's why when I see a heartwarming video I try to selectively pay attention to positive ones. The best reaction is to not pay too much attention to negative comments. That FedEx driver is indeed an awesome awesome human being.
@@TraceguyRune i for one don’t own snakes, but i would imagine a snake could escape and as long as it’s still on your property i don’t think anyone has the right to come onto your property which is not “public” and kill your snake.
True, they come looking for them too. They track their scent trail and will likely be found where they last were. Happened underneath on my Aunts front porch steps. Two days later a second same sized rattler in the identical spot .
Very glad he prevented someone from getting hurt by the snake. That said this is what happens with People building their homes where these animals are just trying to live. Remember this when the rat population increases.
I noticed that people who hate other people for "displacing wildlife" say so from their own home where apparently no wildlife ever existed. People matter, too.
@Jr-qo4ls We are part of nature. We live here too. Animals kill each other every day. Rattlesnakes will bite anything they perceive as a threat. We are no different.
They have tons of mice on that farm. Snakes everywhere. They're not thinking about them people. If they were trying to bite, they would have been in the house doing so.
@@lalotime Rattlesnakes don’t want to use their venom on you or your children; it’s meant for catching prey. They literally have a rattle to warn you of their presence.
@@lalotime You clearly have no experience with snakes and I would encourage you to research their behavior before commenting such ridiculous and untrue things.
I’m sorry, is he a hero for killing an innocent animal? If there was a puppy at your front door and a delivery driver killed it because it could be dangerous, what would you think? With those tools you could easily have moved it without killing a keystone species. Also before you say “it could have injured the girl” 1. She was going to school, and the rattlesnake would have left by the time she came back 2. Rattlesnakes don’t strike unless they’re being threatened. If they educated their child on how to avoid possibly dangerous things in the area, then she should be fine.
No. The snake did NOT need to be killed. He should have called animal control so the animal could be relocated. And, this family is probably going to face this issue again because they haven't taken steps to keep away animals such as this. When any area is experiencing extreme heat, animals are going to seek any cool or shade spot they can find. Killing the animal is not the answer.
Trust me that’s far from a “customer service” responsibility. He is an awesome human being for doing that considering he put himself in a dangerous position to help out someone else. God bless him.
People in this generation/era really amaze me in the worst way possible. The dog was whining, and obviously something was amiss but she still didn't pay attention to her surroundings. Good thing that Fed Ex guy was alert and acted. Those kids could have been attacked/killed by that venomous snake
Snakes don't "attack", they defend. That snake was already over there, where the dog was sniffing, and it waited for the people/dog to leave before it moved to the other side. Snakes are really not out to get us, you know. They want to be left alone. (To clarify, the steps are no place for the snake, and I'm glad it was removed.)
This pisses me off. There are 20 things you could do to make the area safer without killing an animal that's only crime was existing. If you are too scared to get it into a bucket or a sheet/pillow case, there are plenty of people that will come and relocate it for you, many without a charge. Odds of dying from a snake bite in the US is something like 1 in 50 million. They aren't deadly as people overexagerate. Most snake deaths come from allergic reactions and people with poor hearts. Snakes do so much for us and we just kill them and praise those that do simply because we are too ignorant to get over our fears and educate ourselves. It's quite sad really.
Kind of disturbing to me. These beautiful animals do not deserve to be killed. Call animal control and have them relocate it. Killing them is not right.
🛑DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS🛑 By doing what man did above, you will put yourself in unnecessary risk for yourself and others around you. According to a study by U.S hospitals more than 67% of snake bites occur when people try to kill/capture venomous snakes. Not only do they pose a risk when they are alive, but they pose the same envenomation/bite risk when they are dead due to how the nervous system works with these animals. For the safety of your pets, children, family and wildlife please contact your local/state wildlife services when you encounter these and other potentially dangerous animals such as bears, bats, etc.
I agree. The snakes do NOT want to attack humans and even their severed heads can be dangerous for a long time after the head is severed from the body. We don’t need to kill every dangerous animal we encounter - best thing would be to call animal control and even the police in order for the police to warn the homeowner. I would not take this upon myself.
@@VOODOOphg agree but FedEx guy does not have time to wait for wildlife personnel to show up (that can take an hour) better to kill a rattler than to risk danger to pets /family. FedEx guy doesn't have time to wait for family to arrive n warn them.
There's a Ring video of cartoonist Berkeley Breathed (Bloom County) stepping out of his home in his bare feet and he comes pretty close to a rattlesnake that's curling up on his front porch. Scary. That said: Instagram has been sending me videos of a guy named Wrangler Bruce who seems to do nothing but capture rattlesnakes when he's called. He makes it look easy. Still, I don't know if I would want to do it. I'm glad this driver kept the family safe. That's always the most important thing. But if one wants -- and one is in Arizona -- Wrangler Bruce is a good option.
I thought people were going to be pissed about it, that's honestly so messed up. Who is scared of a rattler, I live in AZ and see them nearly daily without issue.
They usually mind their own business and only get aggressive when threatened. Plus they help keep rodents away. Never understood why people go out of their way to kill them
Right? If this was a fuzzy cute predator people would lose their minds. I live in Southern Alberta and we get snakes that encounter humans. The city I live in has a snake handler that one can call to relocate the snake away from your home. Most areas have animal control that could relocate the snake. Poor snake. He's was an important part of the ecosystem. Also.... good dog who tried to tell the humans that it was there.
@@AdHocAtom Ikr. If it was a cute fox 🦊 everyone would be like aww. But snake. Kill! Kill!! They both eat rodents. Yeah snake bites can be delicate but super rare. Raccoons and Foxes are more known to be rabid but you don’t see ppl go out to their way to kill them!!
Ok. Instead of killing the animal he could have called animal control and had them move it. Or notify the family and they could have called them. That was unnecessary to kill the poor animal. As a snake owner myself I don’t advise anyone to outright automatically kill a snake. Regardless as to whether they are venomous or not. See if you can get assistance and have them be moved to a safer area. Where there are no people around or at the very least have them be taken in by a licensed professional.
@@yellowbear521 I realize that…….I have been handling snakes my whole life. Since I was an eight year old girl, so I know what I’m talking about. 😑😑😑 But if no one is around at least try to call animal control first. Yes, everyone safety is a priority but there are better ways to do it. You don’t sit there and just automatically kill wild life. Regardless as to whether they are venomous or not. Also, these animals were here first before people. We are the ones encroaching on their territory, not the other way around. If the snake wasn’t actually biting anyone and was just resting. Then there was no justification for killing it at all. You call the proper authorities first and see if they can relocate it to a safer location. That should be common sense, call animal control first. 😒😒😒😒
@@yellowbear521did you not reread the original comment? He was suggesting to have the snake relocated instead of killed so it won’t hurt the kid. Kid wasn’t even in active danger even when she was near the snake
@@genbunin5376Absolutely, and fun fact snakes won't hurt you unless they perceive danger from you. It doesn't do them any good anyways to hurt you. Be chill with wildlife!
Imagine just being a snake trying to help out a homeowner by removing a rodent problem and some guy goes Triple H on you with a shovel. Animal Control is a thing.
@@jessicalatorraca8507you are not Jehovah’s Witness but are in a cult. Repent and find the real Jesus. As for those who are afraid of snakes, carry something that can kill it. Wear protective clothing. Be ready to kill it when it comes.
This happened at our house about 25 years ago. I stepped right over a coral snake that was stretched out in front of the stoop. It didn't bother me, but when I looked back to the house, I saw it. My mom was still inside and I told her to stay in (I was going to be late for work), while I called my dad. He was on two wheels to come home and kill it LOL
killing it tho? wtf arent they protected animals? this seems like a crime its like killling a black bear because its too close to ur house in Tennessee lmfao wtf
He could have. I’m sure they don’t come with lights and sirens in a hurry. So he has to leave and the snake does snake things and moves around. Next thing you know, someone who has no idea there is a snake gets bitten. You are correct in always trying to preserve the life of the snake if possible. But sometimes things don’t work out like that and people have to be protected. Boils down to common sense.
@@Jarhead1968snakes flee from humans, they never instigate a fight because they know they will lose. If you leave it alone it will return the favor guaranteed
@@Tony-rj1xr Dude I’ve been handling snakes for 50 years. I’m no expert by a long shot. But I’ve caught hundreds of cottonmouths, copperheads and many rattle snakes. I’m aware of how they act. What you said is a good rule of thumb but like so many things in identifying snakes, it can very with snakes and circumstances. What I said was most likely nobody is rushing to the call. This man has to get on with his day. So he leaves then someone completely unaware of the situation comes along, possibly a child. Now possibly a human child is possibly fighting for their life. I’m all about relocating snakes. But common sense must prevail. Every situation is different. I watched a good friend take a bite to the calf from a 6 foot timber rattler. He was in bad shape before I got him to the hospital. A child wouldn’t have survived it. He still lives life with a chunk of his calf gone.
@@Jarhead1968 valid point, They do have varying temperaments, this one according to the video was not afraid to use it's rattle to warn to keep away. Although not everyone is familiar with interacting with these snakes like we are and Crofab is expensive.
@@Tony-rj1xr And I really do get your point about relocating. That’s always the best option if possible. My buddy and I were hog hunting one night on a creek. We were climbing through a fence when he stepped on that timber rattler. Man it went from a peaceful night on the creek to pandemonium just like that. It took a while for me to get him to a spot I could get the truck to. And then I had to go get the truck and get him. This was a big snake and it hit him high on his calf and sank a full dose in him. I just don’t think a kid could have taken it and lived.
Several years ago, I heard my mama screaming: "Bryan, Bryan, Bryyyyyyaaaannnnn," as she was sitting in her recliner. I get in there as fast as I can, and she is still screaming my name, and what do I see when I look up at the chandelier in our living room? A king snake, probably about 6 feet long, right above Mama in her recliner, still screaming, afraid to get up because she doesn't want the snake to fall on her. She wants me to take care of it. I laughed and said, "Mama... you called the wrong son." I know it ain't poisonous, but I don't do snakes, period. 😂😂😂 This guy has my respect and admiration.
Stop killing these beautiful animals! Try to get them to go away and let them keep the rodents out of your home. They serve a purpose and should be respected for what they are.

I came across a little rattle snake when I was walking my dogs yesterday. We looked at it for a second and it turned around back the way it was coming from. It was just trying to live its life.
I guess if it is outside. Not an issue but if it comes to your door, that's when it is a problem
That's different.
The stupid thing put itself in a corner that's hidden from the people living there and would likely strike if they stepped out.
Live and let live.
It was ready to lunge & bite. There ain’t no "living" after that.
@@MrRAGE-md5rj Except only .0025% of people that get bit result in death. But go ahead and lie on the internet 😬
As a rattle snake I find this story HIGHLY offensive!
LOL! good one.
you should read some of the comments around here, people are seriously triggered over this story. it's quite telling they have never touched grass that wasn't planted by someone else...
@@gusmc2220 really, all I see is praise for the man. But I guess it's because that is what I was looking for in the comments.
@victorgadamba5518 thankfully most are sensible and praising the man. I should have quantified my statement as _some_ people are upset. And it's hilarious how far from reality they appear to be
@@gusmc2220 I am guilty of paying attention to negative comments too. A few negative comments can indeed shadow the many positive ones, but that's why when I see a heartwarming video I try to selectively pay attention to positive ones. The best reaction is to not pay too much attention to negative comments.
That FedEx driver is indeed an awesome awesome human being.
@victorgadamba5518 good point. Ty for the advice
They forgot to mention he wrote the note with the rattlesnake's own blood 😅
yeah. lol
Nah he used tbe snakes venom is wut I heard
He sent a text message. They showed the text message lol
😂😂
Why kill it?
Then you want children to die?
@@TomTomdog
Yes, and any other thing that comes around it can strike including family pets.
These people have s*** for brains!
@@TomTomdog statistically, the dog poses more of a threat to the children.
Imagine how south this story would've gone if it was their pet rattlesnake.
that’s what i was thinking
Keep your pet rattlesnakes inside and away from the public
@@TraceguyRune i for one don’t own snakes, but i would imagine a snake could escape and as long as it’s still on your property i don’t think anyone has the right to come onto your property which is not “public” and kill your snake.
im dyslexic and it took me so long to figure out the title and i thought this was a bad story because he killed a pet snake😭
That’s what I was thinking, that’s why I would’ve just contacted the homeowner.
Absolute bad ass! Customer service that actually saves lives. Salute to you Matt!
Don’t kill snakes, get them relocated
you can bet there is at least another nearby. We always find them in pairs.
No you don't find them always in pairs are you stupid
Not always true. I live on a ranch and have lived on ranches for about 25 years. Don't put unnecessary fear in people.
True, they come looking for them too. They track their scent trail and will likely be found where they last were.
Happened underneath on my Aunts front porch steps. Two days later a second same sized rattler in the identical spot .
Lmao. Rattlesnakes are not always in pairs, dumbsht.
That’s one way to get people to not steal your packages.
Very glad he prevented someone from getting hurt by the snake. That said this is what happens with People building their homes where these animals are just trying to live. Remember this when the rat population increases.
I noticed that people who hate other people for "displacing wildlife" say so from their own home where apparently no wildlife ever existed. People matter, too.
@Jr-qo4ls We are part of nature. We live here too. Animals kill each other every day. Rattlesnakes will bite anything they perceive as a threat. We are no different.
Do you give up your house if a raccoon digs into your roof or mice gets into your basement?
Where there is one there is more..stay alert around your property
They have tons of mice on that farm. Snakes everywhere. They're not thinking about them people. If they were trying to bite, they would have been in the house doing so.
that poor rattle snake.
Sitting by the door. Imagine if she walked out or the dog. A rattle snake would most likely jump out and bite. Those things are venomous.
@@lalotime
Rattlesnakes don’t want to use their venom on you or your children; it’s meant for catching prey. They literally have a rattle to warn you of their presence.
@@seanhagan1435 And what happens if you don't hear the rattle and get too close?
@@lalotime You clearly have no experience with snakes and I would encourage you to research their behavior before commenting such ridiculous and untrue things.
@@dorianlain1372 then you are most likely deaf, the rattle is quite loud.
I’m sorry, is he a hero for killing an innocent animal? If there was a puppy at your front door and a delivery driver killed it because it could be dangerous, what would you think? With those tools you could easily have moved it without killing a keystone species. Also before you say “it could have injured the girl” 1. She was going to school, and the rattlesnake would have left by the time she came back 2. Rattlesnakes don’t strike unless they’re being threatened. If they educated their child on how to avoid possibly dangerous things in the area, then she should be fine.
No. The snake did NOT need to be killed. He should have called animal control so the animal could be relocated. And, this family is probably going to face this issue again because they haven't taken steps to keep away animals such as this. When any area is experiencing extreme heat, animals are going to seek any cool or shade spot they can find. Killing the animal is not the answer.
No one cares about your advocates
It’s NOT AN ANIMAL ! Ireland , drove out all snakes !…how’d that ruin their country ? !
@@SheldonRunkleBro, snakes are literally animals. You gonna tell us flowers aren't plants next?
Trust me that’s far from a “customer service” responsibility. He is an awesome human being for doing that considering he put himself in a dangerous position to help out someone else. God bless him.
The snake was just chilling smh
Yes, "just chilling", rattling at him. Fvck off, get a grip.
exactly.
As men, a heartfelt thank you is all we need.
Matt easily wins deliveryman of the year with me.
Notice that once he heard the ratlle, Matt did NOT move until he KNEW where the snake was located. SMART MAN!!!😁
Those smart guy should not be delivery guy
But why don't call the snake guy so that the life of the snake could be spared?
People in this generation/era really amaze me in the worst way possible. The dog was whining, and obviously something was amiss but she still didn't pay attention to her surroundings. Good thing that Fed Ex guy was alert and acted. Those kids could have been attacked/killed by that venomous snake
Kinda hard not to be alert when you hear it rattling like it did. Lmao
Well fed and overly provided generation.
Attacking is what humans do 😂, animals bite in self defense. Although, I am not saying that the driver did anything wrong!
@@ani_ds12 animals attack all the time. House cats, tigers, bears, moose, polar bears, are just a few. What are you on about?
Snakes don't "attack", they defend. That snake was already over there, where the dog was sniffing, and it waited for the people/dog to leave before it moved to the other side. Snakes are really not out to get us, you know. They want to be left alone. (To clarify, the steps are no place for the snake, and I'm glad it was removed.)
This pisses me off. There are 20 things you could do to make the area safer without killing an animal that's only crime was existing. If you are too scared to get it into a bucket or a sheet/pillow case, there are plenty of people that will come and relocate it for you, many without a charge. Odds of dying from a snake bite in the US is something like 1 in 50 million. They aren't deadly as people overexagerate. Most snake deaths come from allergic reactions and people with poor hearts. Snakes do so much for us and we just kill them and praise those that do simply because we are too ignorant to get over our fears and educate ourselves. It's quite sad really.
I agree, people are so dumb
SAY IT LOUDER I SWEAR TO GOD
Stop talking idiot. Where were you!
It's only a damn snake.
Kind of disturbing to me. These beautiful animals do not deserve to be killed. Call animal control and have them relocate it. Killing them is not right.
barf. you stink for liking these shitty lengths of butt
You're weird.
@carlitosdinkler5213
Shut up reptilian.
It’s a venomous snake of course he’s gonna kill it
@baileysmith1297 😂😂🤣🤣
Snake was already there when the child left, the dog smelled it and whined. Pay attention to your surroundings.
Damn! That's what I call going above and beyond.
🛑DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS🛑
By doing what man did above, you will put yourself in unnecessary risk for yourself and others around you. According to a study by U.S hospitals more than 67% of snake bites occur when people try to kill/capture venomous snakes. Not only do they pose a risk when they are alive, but they pose the same envenomation/bite risk when they are dead due to how the nervous system works with these animals. For the safety of your pets, children, family and wildlife please contact your local/state wildlife services when you encounter these and other potentially dangerous animals such as bears, bats, etc.
I agree. The snakes do NOT want to attack humans and even their severed heads can be dangerous for a long time after the head is severed from the body. We don’t need to kill every dangerous animal we encounter - best thing would be to call animal control and even the police in order for the police to warn the homeowner. I would not take this upon myself.
@@VOODOOphg agree but FedEx guy does not have time to wait for wildlife personnel to show up (that can take an hour) better to kill a rattler than to risk danger to pets /family. FedEx guy doesn't have time to wait for family to arrive n warn them.
I've seen reports of envenomation after decapitation.
@@pilarq7886 A house cat technically can kill a rattlesnake.
@@pilarq7886only if it’s a 12 foot snake. Their strike range is shorter than their bodies, not longer.
Probably saved a life as well!
No he took one
That is going above and beyond customer service! Awesome story!
his little shimmy at the end after he dispatched the snake, i felt that. lol Thank God for Matt!!
Why not calling the snake catcher?
They charge you a bunch of money. In the country you gotta do the dirty work
@@lalotimeSad
How can you tell us that you're a city kid, without telling us that you're a city kid?
There's a Ring video of cartoonist Berkeley Breathed (Bloom County) stepping out of his home in his bare feet and he comes pretty close to a rattlesnake that's curling up on his front porch. Scary.
That said: Instagram has been sending me videos of a guy named Wrangler Bruce who seems to do nothing but capture rattlesnakes when he's called. He makes it look easy. Still, I don't know if I would want to do it.
I'm glad this driver kept the family safe. That's always the most important thing. But if one wants -- and one is in Arizona -- Wrangler Bruce is a good option.
I wouldn't try it. Snakes have really quick reflexes, so to minimize risk you need to be trained properly
I thought people were going to be pissed about it, that's honestly so messed up. Who is scared of a rattler, I live in AZ and see them nearly daily without issue.
They usually mind their own business and only get aggressive when threatened. Plus they help keep rodents away. Never understood why people go out of their way to kill them
Right? If this was a fuzzy cute predator people would lose their minds. I live in Southern Alberta and we get snakes that encounter humans. The city I live in has a snake handler that one can call to relocate the snake away from your home. Most areas have animal control that could relocate the snake. Poor snake. He's was an important part of the ecosystem. Also.... good dog who tried to tell the humans that it was there.
Looks like I found the only sensible people In the comment section
@@L3ONARDO07because they can kill us and our pets. Rattle snakes are not endangered.
@@AdHocAtom Ikr. If it was a cute fox 🦊 everyone would be like aww. But snake. Kill! Kill!! They both eat rodents. Yeah snake bites can be delicate but super rare. Raccoons and Foxes are more known to be rabid but you don’t see ppl go out to their way to kill them!!
Poor snake. They could've just called an expert to take it away.
The expert DID take it away.
Yeah honestly a bit surprised by the comments section but it’s understandable. These news videos always have the most general public audiences
Could’ve just called Animal Control and have them remove the snake, killing it wasn’t necessary.
Thank you, Matt! 🐍
Praying all the extra blessing in this man for protecting this family 🙏🙌❤
The dog's nose knew it was there! Dog's have up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about six million in humans!
🤓☝️
Ok. Instead of killing the animal he could have called animal control and had them move it. Or notify the family and they could have called them. That was unnecessary to kill the poor animal. As a snake owner myself I don’t advise anyone to outright automatically kill a snake. Regardless as to whether they are venomous or not. See if you can get assistance and have them be moved to a safer area. Where there are no people around or at the very least have them be taken in by a licensed professional.
Kids take priority over snakes
@@yellowbear521 I realize that…….I have been handling snakes my whole life. Since I was an eight year old girl, so I know what I’m talking about. 😑😑😑
But if no one is around at least try to call animal control first. Yes, everyone safety is a priority but there are better ways to do it. You don’t sit there and just automatically kill wild life. Regardless as to whether they are venomous or not. Also, these animals were here first before people. We are the ones encroaching on their territory, not the other way around. If the snake wasn’t actually biting anyone and was just resting. Then there was no justification for killing it at all. You call the proper authorities first and see if they can relocate it to a safer location. That should be common sense, call animal control first. 😒😒😒😒
@@yellowbear521did you not reread the original comment? He was suggesting to have the snake relocated instead of killed so it won’t hurt the kid. Kid wasn’t even in active danger even when she was near the snake
@@genbunin5376Absolutely, and fun fact snakes won't hurt you unless they perceive danger from you. It doesn't do them any good anyways to hurt you. Be chill with wildlife!
As a snake owner, you are part of the problem.
Well lady if "he left it there" it wasn't his job to remove it, neither did he place it there to begin with.
Imagine just being a snake trying to help out a homeowner by removing a rodent problem and some guy goes Triple H on you with a shovel. Animal Control is a thing.
The arm shake with "brrrrrr." Gotta shake out the adrenaline dump. 🤣
poor snake.. just chilling.. :(
Why did I just watch this video knowing good and well I’m terrified of snakes and just got a job as a delivery driver🤦🏾♂️
Iam afraid of them also bro!
I’m one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and once there was a little garter snake on the porch 🤭 I feel for you!
@@jessicalatorraca8507you are not Jehovah’s Witness but are in a cult. Repent and find the real Jesus.
As for those who are afraid of snakes, carry something that can kill it. Wear protective clothing.
Be ready to kill it when it comes.
Consider it a training video. Always check the corners, and maybe always carry a shovel?
Now you know where to look. Be safe, your loved ones await your return.
🎶Like a good neighbor FedEx is there!!!🎶 I bet your insurance agent won’t do that!
Plot twist; the rattlesnake was delivered by an Amazon driver.
Dog was like "It's a rattlesnake right here".
Wow did I misread the title.
“FedEx driver kills rattlesnake, apologizes in note written in blood.”

Oh my God he killed that poor innocent rattle snake..
Cry about it wahhhh

yeah, she might've heard the rattle and turned around, just as nature intended.
@@scrat8177 Yes, you're right, something I never thought about.👍
This happened at our house about 25 years ago.
I stepped right over a coral snake that was stretched out in front of the stoop. It didn't bother me, but when I looked back to the house, I saw it. My mom was still inside and I told her to stay in (I was going to be late for work), while I called my dad. He was on two wheels to come home and kill it LOL
Probably not. Most snakes are very shy and wouldn't come out if they heard noise. They'd wait until it was quiet, as this snake did.
Why in the world is the company name obscured? It's not blurred on the vehicle...
When people try to kill snakes, they're not trying to kill the snake. They're trying to kill their fear of the snake
People like Amazon delivery drivers, and rideshare drivers dont get paid nearly enough or get the credit they deserve.
killing it tho? wtf arent they protected animals? this seems like a crime its like killling a black bear because its too close to ur house in Tennessee lmfao wtf

@@Loch1210the kid did, as was fine...
man did not have to kill the snake bro help literally just call professionals why even do anything
He could have had the family call the authorities to relocate the snake rather than murder it.
He could have. I’m sure they don’t come with lights and sirens in a hurry. So he has to leave and the snake does snake things and moves around. Next thing you know, someone who has no idea there is a snake gets bitten. You are correct in always trying to preserve the life of the snake if possible. But sometimes things don’t work out like that and people have to be protected. Boils down to common sense.
@@Jarhead1968snakes flee from humans, they never instigate a fight because they know they will lose. If you leave it alone it will return the favor guaranteed
@@Tony-rj1xr Dude I’ve been handling snakes for 50 years. I’m no expert by a long shot. But I’ve caught hundreds of cottonmouths, copperheads and many rattle snakes. I’m aware of how they act. What you said is a good rule of thumb but like so many things in identifying snakes, it can very with snakes and circumstances. What I said was most likely nobody is rushing to the call. This man has to get on with his day. So he leaves then someone completely unaware of the situation comes along, possibly a child. Now possibly a human child is possibly fighting for their life. I’m all about relocating snakes. But common sense must prevail. Every situation is different. I watched a good friend take a bite to the calf from a 6 foot timber rattler. He was in bad shape before I got him to the hospital. A child wouldn’t have survived it. He still lives life with a chunk of his calf gone.
@@Jarhead1968 valid point, They do have varying temperaments, this one according to the video was not afraid to use it's rattle to warn to keep away. Although not everyone is familiar with interacting with these snakes like we are and Crofab is expensive.
@@Tony-rj1xr And I really do get your point about relocating. That’s always the best option if possible. My buddy and I were hog hunting one night on a creek. We were climbing through a fence when he stepped on that timber rattler. Man it went from a peaceful night on the creek to pandemonium just like that. It took a while for me to get him to a spot I could get the truck to. And then I had to go get the truck and get him. This was a big snake and it hit him high on his calf and sank a full dose in him. I just don’t think a kid could have taken it and lived.
"Hope you didn't have a pet rattlesnake."
Matt decided to play the odds and got lucky. People have all kinds of weird pets these days...
Why not just call animal control and just relocate it?
How odd is it that there happened to be a camera that low to catch everything..
Poor snake she tried to find some shade 😢
That’s what I’m sayin poor snake at least put it in a box and move it somewhere else this dude a murder a shovel and a medal rake wtf
I cant even get FedEx to take a package all the way to my front door.
An Amazon driver would have thrown the package snapped a pic to send you (with the snake) and ran off to their vehicle
Several years ago, I heard my mama screaming: "Bryan, Bryan, Bryyyyyyaaaannnnn," as she was sitting in her recliner. I get in there as fast as I can, and she is still screaming my name, and what do I see when I look up at the chandelier in our living room? A king snake, probably about 6 feet long, right above Mama in her recliner, still screaming, afraid to get up because she doesn't want the snake to fall on her. She wants me to take care of it. I laughed and said, "Mama... you called the wrong son." I know it ain't poisonous, but I don't do snakes, period. 😂😂😂
This guy has my respect and admiration.
Call a reptile expert who knows how to catch and relocate snakes. No need to kill the snake. 😡
is this matt in animation?
Stop killing these beautiful animals! Try to get them to go away and let them keep the rodents out of your home. They serve a purpose and should be respected for what they are.
Not while on the clock!
Humans are monsters by nature. If they knew what a rattlesnake actually was, they wouldn't all be supporting this butchering
