Creepy, just creepy!

Man , talk about a pit of vipers........

Oh Heck no, no, no!!!!!

Hope that ain't John's new home!

Looks like money to me.

Some darn good eats there!

Man could get rich right there

That is a bunch of snakes

Imagine if you did not know that hole was there, and you fell into it . No snake tongs, no Snake boots, no gloves. Just you and those snakes!

There's gotta be 20-25 prs of boots there!

Assuming thats a drone? If it died right there, i would not attempt to retrieve it.

Law Dog nailed it,lots of lure and bait there.Looks like they took over a old coyote den location.Some good table fair as well and tanned snake skins to be had there.Cool video thank's for sharing.

Prairie rattlers, early spring, sunning on southern exposure, mostly females (maybe?).

I have a buddy who marks timber for a living. He told me of a day he was on a mountain coming down over when he stopped atop a rock to get a look where the property line was when he noticed a small rattler. After looking some more, he said they were everywhere, that the ground was crawling with them!

His claim was...the next 50' was covered by 3 steps! LOL.

That looked like a pick up truck full of snakes, from big to little. Always heard about balls of snakes, got to see one in Wy about twenty years ago. Drove into a dog town, to set up for fox, and at a dog hole that had been augered out by a badger, there laid a ball of snakes about the size of a basketball. All different kinds, bull snakes, rattlers, even garter snakes. Had a guy from Ut riding with me, and when I got out for a closer look, he started screaming at me to get back in the truck. I got about five foot from that ball and it starts rolling right into the badger/dog hole. Was buzzing pretty good, and there were seven or eight rattlers about three feet long laying around that den too, all getting ready for the winter sleep. Cool experience!

Old flick, neat to see though
Wish I could see that many timbers in a legal harvest state, I could stop working, and just sell my leather work !!

Prairie's are nice, Diamonds are great when just molted but neither even compare to a Timber when they just molt, their coloring is unbelievable !!

I think it was probably a Go-Pro or other stick mounted camera that was being poked at the rattlers. I was surprised by how non-aggressive they were. They would clearly rather warn and retreat, then attack.

I have only seen one wild rattlesnake in Ohio. It was dead and missing the head and rattle. I used to catch hundreds of snakes a year. I've found garter snake dens with around that many snakes, but they were obviously much less impressive.

Ran into a den on the White River years back deer hunting in November nothing there in the AM I made a pass up cliff trail at lunch time, it came alive the one thing that sticks in my mind was the smooth trails between the cracks in the ground. The noise was loud when they fired up.

Reminds me of this -
