This was unexpected.
There I was, just sitting at my computer spending some time on steemit. Suddenly, Pinkie-Pepper burst through the door and shouted, "Pygmy Rattlesnake!" Soon, I was following her outside into the darkness, my adrenaline rushing and pulse pounding. Sure enough, there is was!
While these may be a beautiful snake with some amazing coloration, they are also a venomous snake and dangerous to interact with. That's why I relocate them further into the wilderness whenever we encounter them.
Last year, when @vcelier came down to visit, we even found a black one! We will see what happens this year, but we videoed me when I captured this one.

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

LOL! Hellz no!
And that may be true, but, I draw the line right there. I have complete respect for venomous snakes and I envy humans who are willing to catch them.

Where did you learn to catch these things? Just over time?
Ever get bit (poisonous or not)?

Nice! I still have yet to catch a rattlesnake. I did catch a huge, almost 6 foot long black rat snake today. I'm still taking pictures and haven't got the pictures uploaded yet but when I do I'm planning on entering it into this weeks photo contest.

howdy @papa-pepper jeez not another snake!
I had to watch this to see what they look like. A neighbor of ours opened
a toolbox drawer in her shed and one of those was in the drawer.
How do you know they won't come back to your place when you take
them away? and they come in black and the lighter color?
thanks papa-pepper for another exciting video!

I take them far enough away that they won't make it back. Also, check your comment on the @armadilloman post, as I made you an offer.

I still don't think I would grab it, but it's cool that you relocate them rather than killing them. They probably help keep down the mice and such, but they could also hurt one of the kids. That wouldn't be good.
I like that you call you kid "child" in the video. :D

Snakes are fascinating enemies. Cute even in their own ways I'd say.
We still should avoid showing these pictures to Samuel A. Jackson I guess.

Glad that you could relocate him without injury to any party! I don't like venomous snakes hanging around the homestead. Always afraid that smaller kids or animals will get bitten. And I don't know enough on how to handle them safely so I usually call a neighbour who does:)
