[QUOTE="JR777, post: 3593544, member: 45725"] My experience with rattlesnakes is by the time they rattle they're already super pissed. They will literally let you step on them before they rattle. I was out hiking with some friends one day trying to cross a boulder field, and there was about a ten foot long FAT rattlesnake sunning itself on a boulder we needed to cross. And the lazy ******* wouldn't move! We were poking it with long sticks trying to get him to move or even push him along, but he wouldn't and he was too heavy to push. Didn't hear even a hint of a rattle the whole time. We gave up and just went around. It was hot that day, so it's not like he was frozen or anything, and there weren't any obvious bulges so I don't think he was so full he couldn't move. No obvious injuries, no signs of him being sick. Just a fat lazy snake who knew he was the biggest baddest thing in the woods. [/QUOTE]
