If I lived where rattlers are everywhere I'd own of pair of kevlar layered pants and shoes. Plus a big stick.We seem to have a larger then normal amount of snakes this spring here.We are north of Tucson next to the Catalina mountains.My wife had a close encounter yesterday.Lots of diamondback rattlers.We had a King snake in the yard last night.I asked him to stay,but haven't seen him.How do you bribe a king snake to stick around ?. I hike a lot so always on guard.The darn things are all over the place right now.Im more concerned about the small rattlers.it is said they are more lethal
I was thinking more like a Predator Drone strike.About 100 gallons of diesel and a thermite grenade will clear that up
I would dump a gasoline refinery on them and light a match.
