Rattlebug Rescue

[C.Read]

Came upon this sucker today. My wife decided to play Crocodile Woman and nudged him to the shoulder of the road with a fishing pole. He was a bit sluggish but managed to latch on the the handle of the pole and released a good shot of venom.

I was gonna leave him be and let nature take its course with the next passing motorist!


Dang....I can't get the pic to upload. Will someone upload it if I text it to you?

No sir....he's alive. He was real sluggish.

Had I been by myself he'd have been pretty dead. My wife is a snake person though. She gets it from her dad.

I wouldn't post about killing this one. Can't do it here in Texas.

Didn't say I did hence the title of this thread.
