What I use my truck for

First Eastern Diamondback in the new truck. Just wanted to throw it out there there that there is no reason to run these guys over with your taco! I study this beautiful creatures and I promise they will leave you alone if you dont bother them.

 

F that.

 

F that as well

 

Eastern diamondbacks are really gentle giants if you approach them the right way. I've had a cane break rattler in my collection who could get a little feisty but normally layed back. Cool find especially so early in the year! I might have to put my snake hooks back in my truck already lol

 

very nice! I like snakes and usually just move them away from the house... that is unless mom sees it i have to kill it no matter what kind it is. only other thing i’ll kill is a copperhead thats by the house, don’t want to take the risk with dogs that go out side unleashed or stay outside with a wireless collar.

x2 would like it try it as well. i know my dad has before.

 

Hear about the giant viper that got out in Mt p a couple weeks ago?

 

about how much dose a snake hook run?

 

I ran a snake over once, not on prupose but it's like hitting a dear, it came out of nowhere.

And I also ate rattle snake a couple of time, deep fried with cactus fries...

 

Yeah it was a gaboon viper. I have a gut feeling it's dead. I live in mtp and and got stupid cold for 2 days and I highly doubt it made it through that.

Depends. I have the 72 inch gentle giant snake tongs they cost around 80 I believe. I got them more for my boas and larger diamond backs when out snake hunting or "herping" and I make my own snake hooks.

 

I've eaten them in chilli when I lived in the Appalachian mountains

 

No doubt! Some girls I work with were afraid to walk though any grass going to there car because they were afraid of it! Lol. I would have loved to catch him. There one of my favorite snakes next to carolina copperheads

 

mmm.....chili, going to a chili cook-off next month. Don't think they will have snake in them but let's hope.

 

Around $20

 

When snake hunting I take my Midwest gentle giant tongs my homemade snake hook and my hex armor puncture proof gloves with the gator grip and abrasion resistant features. There great for smaller gators

 

Glad to see there are some snake friendly people on the forum

 

may get one just for the hell of it. i usually just pick them up, but may use it to move them out away from stuff so i can pick them up.

last time i was in chas i looked for a gator but never found one. i did see a small shark on folly when i was a little deeper than my knees. it was probably 18” or so, i tried finding it again so i could pick it up... only saw it for about 2 seconds.

 

There's gators everywhere closer towards awendaw area and in the larger neighborhoods with drainage ponds

 

yeah idk where any of that is really. lol. when i’m down i’m either down town, or out on the beach/ james island.

 

Oh no fun. Im in mount pleasant. If to keep going towards Myrtle Beach the next town is Awendaw. I do most of my snake hunting over there in the National Forrest
