Whigham Rattlesnake Roundup

08/05/2026

Ah.. no! These snakes are very dangerous to catch and keep in some type of enclosure like a reptile tank. Rattlesnake venom is very strong and can cause severe harm or even death if you are bitten. They are very difficult to feed in captivity, which can also lead to deadly bites. And no matter how long you keep them, a rattlesnake can never be domesticated like some snakes.

So, if you've ever thought about catching a rattlesnake and keeping it in a reptile enclosure, DON'T. It's bad for the snake and could be very bad for you.

Are snakes more active when it's hot outside?

No. Extreme heat causes snakes to seek shelter, meaning they actually become most active at dawn and dusk to avoid overheating. But please be careful where you step. They're moving around this time of year and can be hard to spot in weeds and grass.

Be careful when flipping over a piece of tin or lumber this summer. Those spots are ideal hiding places for rattlesnakes who are seeking a warm refuge away from the direct summer heat. It's best to use a pole or stick to flip over that tin or lumber instead of your hands. Enjoy your summer!
