When you're sick, what do you do? Rest, eat some good food, and get some medicine right? Well it's the same thing for wildlife, and yup, that includs rattlesnakes! Today, we're gonna be helping to try and rehab and release an adult eastern diamondback rattlesnake that seems to be struggling with multiple issues. We need to safely transport, diagnose, and treat the issues as best we can in order to get this snake back out into the national forests where he belongs! Can we do it with no close calls to us or the snake? Lets sure hope so! As always we hope y'all enjoy this video :D
Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes (Crotalus adamanteus) grow to be the largest rattlesnake in the world, and throughout their range are a heavily persecuted snake. In south Mississippi, these snakes are becoming increasingly rarer due to consistent persecution. These snakes get shot, run over, stomped, bludgeoned, pretty much every way you could imagine there is to kill a snake, people kill diamondbacks in this state. They receive no federal aid or protection in the state despite obviously being imperiled. While there are many organizations that work with habitat restoration, nobody in this area works to relocate, rehab, or just generally aid many of the rattlesnake populations. This is most likely due to public opinion on venomous snakes and hazardous wildlife. While other rare snakes in the area receive some level of protection, eastern diamondbacks do not. While I think this should change, for the time being, this means these snakes are imperiled, so any aid I can give any single one of these snakes could go a long way for the species as whole, and the education of the public through video is an important part of the process for helping these animals.
