At least put on an oven mitt if you’re going to use BBQ tong to handle rattle snakes.
Euthanized!
Funny, I kilt a
“Buzz Worm” yesterday
with an empty
Soup Can.
A feisty Footlong!
Bigger than that
Calls for my Shovel.
He should have applied the barbecue sauce to the snake first, then using the tongs would work.
Really. Bbq tongs. At the age of 6, I used a shovel on a rattlesnake. Later on, I used a .22. Much later, I used a shotgun. I cannot imagine thinking that tongs are the best solution available.
I keep a long handled flat shovel to chop the head off the rattlesnake. Or if I have time my .22 with snake shot.

Almost became another Corona casualty.
Dumbass. Throw ice on it from a distance, then once lethargic, pick it up and place in box or bucket (or dispatch).
Tastes like chicken.
i used my f250 to run over one on the road in front of my place yesterday...
Looks like the snake was a bit rare and underdone.
Should have turned up the heat a bit.
Tastes just like chicken.
Dumb butt. You chop their little heads off with a long handle shovel.
Hope he never comes across a cotton mouth.
Bet it wasnt a Mohave. He’d been in a world of hurt.
Just about all them snakes round here are Mohave Greens.
Dear Reporter, Rattlesnakes are not poisonous. They are safe to eat. Indeed many years ago there was a Rattlesnake cannery in Tampa, Florida. They are however not safe to pick up being venomous.
It takes the bite out.
“...bitten by a rattlesnake when he tried to pick up the poisonous reptile using barbecue tongs.”
Rattlers are ticklish but totally humorless.
If there was one rattlesnake, would there be more of them?
There was no mention about whether the Southern Kalifornia man was wearing a mask.
Governor Gruesome wants to know for statistical counts. If he dies and he wasn’t wearing a mask, then it was a COVID 18 death. And six more weeks of lockdowns.
I have killed many rattlesnakes. Mostly with a hoe but a few with a shotgun. I live in the countryside and kill only those near my home that could hurt my dogs. Those I encounter in my woods I just leave alone. It would be impossible to get rid of all of them and I do not desire to do this. Get near my home and of necessity I will kill the snake.
