yeah i think it's real , because i lived in the caribeens islands, an we all know, sometimes when you cut the head of the snake it can still project some poison, (it already happens in this situation, the poison made one little tree dry...)

Most likely real; I have seen a tiger snake do something very similar. Solution bash the head with a shovel that will kill the sucker.
5 Posted 411 days ago by loki95531
yes this is real same thing with the western diamond back rattle snake.

Ok then, who was the BIG MAN who chopped its head off in the first place? Was it about to launch an unprovoked attack or was it just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Sick bastards, leave these animals alone unless they are about to attack for no reason, which is so unlikely as to be NEVER!

arrhh. did anyone else get a shiver down their spine when they watched thet?

#6 We do it to lower populations of animals so they won't overpopulate and do it to us. Yet, I'm sure some hippes will say: "Maybe they should overpopulate and do it to us." which wouldn't be so smart to say.

I wouldn't be playing with it, just because the head got separated from the body doesn't make the poison harmless all of a sudden. I remember as a kid being chased around by headless chickens and turkeys at butchering time, the nerves aren't dead yet in all of these cases.

@#6 Would you feel the same way about a Funnel Web spider that took-up living around your children's sandbox ? Deadly animals can not be allowed to exist in areas where confrontation is likely , like around your home or ranch. Rattlers do not turn and run...they stand and fight with deadly intent.While I would never go hunting for them just for kicks,I surely will not allow them to curl up on my back porch step or where my family may come in contact with one by chance.

so thats how u make zombies =p
really freaky....
#12 it would just craw out the other side 
15 Posted 410 days ago by freshmen1020
the slow motion scream ruined it for me 
but the snake is scary yet cool tho
18 Posted 410 days ago by MsZoomy (admin)
#12 good one, poor mouse would die of a heart attack
yeah, real, I've seen rattle snakes do that down here in Florida! and water mocassins too
20 Posted 410 days ago by USAnumber1
@#19 Are you trying to turn even THIS topic into a political discussion?
23 Posted 410 days ago by OnetimeX
Why did this snake not go to a club instead of just laying in the desert????
Because he had nobody to go with!!!!
Thank you please 
26 Posted 409 days ago by MsZoomy (admin)
#10 sorry I missed this from your earlier comment but you said "Rattlers do not turn and run...they stand and fight with deadly intent." and that is in fact completely false. A rattler doesn't want to deal with you anymore than you want to deal with him. He will flea if he can but will stand his ground when cornered as any animal will to protect it's self. Of course I am not a snake expert, but this is what I know to be true of the snakes here in south Florida. there may be rattlers elsewhere that are more aggresive but I don't think so.

lolololol God....Dident anyone ever play with worms where they were younger lolol
28 Posted 408 days ago by moskwiz
I agree with #6 and #26
#8 and #10 on the other hand, are idiots...
No wild animal will purposely try to attack or endanger anyone outside of their menu unless that someone poses a direct threat to the wild animal.. If you're minding your business at home, and a bear comes in the front door - ofcourse you will defend yourself. Same goes for the rattler who is in its natural habitat in the wild and man is the invader.
[Quote/] We do it to lower populations of animals so they won't overpopulate and do it to us... [/]
What a crock of shit! You do it because you think it's fun for some odd reason.. In the last 100 years or so, EVERY SINGLE ecosystem (apart from antropogenous ones) has been in decline, the populations associated with them naturally also.
[Quote/] Would you feel the same way about a Funnel Web spider that took-up living around your children's sandbox ? Deadly animals can not be allowed to exist in areas where confrontation is likely , like around your home or ranch.[/] Well, this is true in a way. On the other hand what most people don't realize is that your home or ranch (particularly in new-made suburban areas) is situated in those animals' natural habitat - THEIR HOME. Ensure they can't crawl in your backyard by securing it thoroughly.. Chopping off a snakes head because it poses a threat to your pool-party is not the answer. You are the threat!
29 Posted 408 days ago by moskwiz
Oh.. and that snake in the video is not alive. Muscle twitching can occur on all vertebrates after sudden deadly trauma. Chickens can even run away after being decapitated.
30 Posted 408 days ago by USAnumber1
@#26 You would have been better off if you had missed my earlier post because now I have to enlighten you about rattlesnakes.
First off I will tell you that I live in Va. where we have the Canebrake rattlesnake which is considered a very irritable and aggressive snake that will strike if you happen to get close in just walking past it. We also have the Eastern Diamondback which is the largest rattlesnake (up to 7')in the US and they are rated very aggressive , and with 1" fangs they can inflict a deadly bite.
Out west is the Mojave rattlesnake whose venom is the most toxic of all North American rattlesnakes and these snakes have been known to actually pursue humans who were trying to move away. (cotton-mouth Moccasins will come after you also,I have had two of them do it to me)
The Western Diamondback is large and aggressive and is responsible for many bites in the US. The Black-tailed rattler is large and considered very bold while the Speckled rattlesnake is a very nervous snake that will strike at any intruder and can deliver a deadly bite. There are numerous other rattlers that are dangerous but that will avoid humans if they can , but the ones listed above are not ones you want living near where your family walks or plays. (by the way,the word you should have used is "flee" not "flea". 
And as for #28 asserting that NO animal poses a threat to man unless they are threatened or are on the animals menu that is just stupid,uneducated foolery. In the Northwestern and Western parts of the US,and in Vancouver,Canada, Mountain Lions (Cougars) have been preying on hikers and bikers with some fatalities reported .Many people have reported being stalked by Mountain Lions. In India Tigers take human prey on a regular basis so I guess humans are on their menu too. Don't get caught out in the open by a Polar Bear either,they see humans as FOOD! When the Alaskan pipeline was being built armed guards had to be placed at regular intervals because of predation of humans by bears.
And in Africa you better hope you do not come face-to-face with a Black Mamba because they are extremely aggressive,will strike without provocation ,and you will most likely die with-in the hour if you do not receive immediate medical help.They will pursue you and in 'the bush' they can outrun most people.They have no intention of feeding on you,just killing you;I guess it's just in their nature.
There is no way humans can just stay out of all the areas that animals see as 'their' habitat.Man is the dominant species and will go where he pleases and do whatever is necessary to protect family and self....Whew
31 Posted 408 days ago by moskwiz
The last sentence in your reply is the one you should stick with.. That's about it..
I quote myself [No wild animal will purposely try to attack or endanger anyone outside of their MENU unless that someone poses a direct threat to the wild animal..] Now WHAT PART OF the word 'MENU' don't you understand??!? Menu, as in stuff that the animal eats.. so if Cougars, Tigers and Polar Bears prey on man for food, then what part of what i said contradicts that?!?
And again.. NO animal (and we're talking healthy, distress-free animals in their own habitat) will try to attack you just because they're considered aggressive. A snake will pursue you in the bush because YOU ARE in its natural habitat, its the snakes home and it feels threatened by your presence (you being a big tall, extremely smelly and weird creature who moves around a lot). The word aggressive doesn't mean that an animal will do anything outside their instincts (stay alive, get food, reproduce), which attacking you 'without provocation' would be. It just means that an aggressive animal will more likely pick self-defense as a means to stay alive, over escaping.
I'm not saying man should the bitch of all the other animals because we have the ability to differentiate right from wrong.. I'm saying we also have the ability to understand quite a lot of how things work, for an example, with animals. And chopping off a snakes head because it got pissed off when you decided to go (figuratively speaking) poking it with a stick, is not acting upon that ability =)
Anything else? Or have I been dedacted from the ranks of '..stupid, uneducated fools'? 
32 Posted 408 days ago by USAnumber1
@#31 Did you read the part about rattlesnakes? They bite just because you come near them even though you may not even SEE them;and humans are not on their menu.
And now I guess you are saying that humans ARE on the menu of lions,tigers and bears...oh no! Most wild animals instinctively avoid contact with humans and humans are not listed anywhere in books as normal 'prey animals' for any of the aforementioned predators but if you are going to include humans then please leave me off that list and inform those critters that I am not coming for dinner.
We pretty much are saying the same thing it's just that I have probably had more 'close encounters' of the scary type than you have.
Also I think you meant 'redacted' in your last sentence, which means to edit out or remove information from things such as a memo or letter or list to protect privileged information. Consider it done and by the way,I am no idiot. 
33 Posted 408 days ago by moskwiz
Well I've been in close contact with both polar-bears, tigers and cougars (not to mention a lot of venomous snakes) and just because the books don't say that humans are not normal prey doesn't mean that the aforementioned beasts could not consider us as a food source.
Just because you don't know that a rattler is lurking behind a rock, doesn't man that the rattler doesn't know you're coming. All snakes have an excellent sense of smell, rattlers included.
I say again: NO healthy wild animals will EVER distinctively attack anyone who isn't considered either dinner or a direct threat to the well being of the attacker (this includes not only the attacker itself, but depending on who we're talking about it might also include the attackers packmates or siblings or indeed why not even territory [if the attacker is a territorial animal]).
Whatever you think the rattler attacked you for, the reason is not in conflict with what I just said.
Animals (wild animals) don't do pointless things: it's a waste of energy.
34 Posted 408 days ago by MsZoomy (admin)
USA#1 I did say that I was not an expert and thanks for the information on all the rattlers.
I have come across many a snakes in my years here in Florida and the rattlers always ran. The moccasins attacked. And I know that I spelled flee wrong but couldn't go back and change it. I still feel that no matter which breed of rattler it is, rather than being aggressive, they are more territorial and see you as being a threat, which you are. I don't think they're being aggressive just for the hell of it. In other words, they won't seek you out, but will stand their ground protect their home.
It goes with out saying that regardless of which breed of rattler it is, I don't want it in my yard!! We'll leave it at that.
36 Posted 407 days ago by MsZoomy (admin)
oh yeah and USA#1 I have no problems with someone informing me about a mistake I may have made, or correcting me. However, you don't have to be a prick about it (which you are and have proven yourself so many times here), just state your case without the snide comments and move on ok!?
37 Posted 407 days ago by moskwiz
#35 .. The Zoo naturally
No seriously my father is a zoologist who specializes in animal behavior, I've been associated with the Zoo since I was like 4, have gotten behind all closed doors etc. I have touched a full grown male polar-bear, an Amur tiger, lynxes ,chimpanzees etc. etc. I know quite a bit about various vertebrates and how they see the world around them
38 Posted 407 days ago by USAnumber1
@#37 That's cool that you have been able to get so close to so many different animals but being near a well fed zoo animal that is used to human interaction is a far cry from coming face-to-face with a large predator in the wild. When you are attacked by a dangerous animal it does not matter if it is after you because it sees you as food, or it is protecting it's territory or it's young or anything else! Dead is dead,so going back to the original point about allowing dangerous animals of any type to make your home THEIR home,that is out of the question for me.
@#36 Being a stickler for the facts and arguing my points might make me a prick in your eyes and that is just fine,their is only one woman I have to make happy and after 38 years she still is. You also have made many caustic remarks to different posters on this forum but I would not call you a c**t or anything,so lighten-up.
39 Posted 407 days ago by shimmerman
@#38
hey...USAnumber1......are you MacGyver????? still got the same haircut? wow...ur amazin!!! have you got a web-site we can all stay up to date with your deep intellect....
40 Posted 407 days ago by USAnumber1
@#39 Hey young comedian,turn-off the tv,put down your video game that is probably fused to your hand by now,and read a few books. In a dozen years or so you can be just like me !!
I can not tell you if I am MacGyver because then I would have to kill you...sorry.
Don't you ever have anything intelligent to add to a discussion? Constantly trying to be the class clown seems to be all you ever offer to this forum.
41 Posted 407 days ago by MsZoomy (admin)
USA#1 everyone has their place in the world and yours is to be that irritating itch in the middle of your back that you can't quite reach and won't go away
I try to avoid being "caustic" as you say unless someone really pushes my buttons. But, as I said earlier, I don't mind being corrected or having someone else disagree with me but you always start out with snide remarks and a holier-than-thou attitude.
I quote "@#26 You would have been better off if you had missed my earlier post because now I have to enlighten you about rattlesnakes." It really isn't neccesary to be a snot about it, just state your case.
42 Posted 407 days ago by USAnumber1
@ MsZoomy,after you indicated that I was telling falsehoods ,"sorry I missed this from your earlier comment but you said "Rattlers do not turn and run...they stand and fight with deadly intent." and that is in fact completely false." I felt it was time to show that I was not.
It was actually my post #30 where I said "You would have been better off if you had missed my earlier post because now I have to enlighten you about rattlesnakes." I thought saying that was more polite than saying something like "hey dumbass,you are stupid if you think that" like some on this site would do when challenged. I happen to love all this banter back-and forth and the exchange of ideas and views from around the world.
Oh yea,that itch in the middle of your back is probably a chigger bite...I hear they are worse in Fla than in Va.
43 Posted 407 days ago by MsZoomy (admin)
LOL, how about we call a truce? (spelling?)
I never had a chigger bite, I've heard that they're nasty! Ticks, fleas, horseflys, fire ants, wasps, bees, hornets of all kinds, jellyfish, crabs, (not THAT kind) and I even got bit by a snook one time, but never a chigger!
44 Posted 407 days ago by moskwiz
OK this is just getting ridiculous, so I'll kindly step aside for the clash of the Titans (USA and MszZoomy) may continue without me..
And to reply to #38 [/]Dead is dead,so going back to the original point about allowing dangerous animals of any type to make your home THEIR home,that is out of the question for me.[] And again you astound me with apparently being incapable of actually reading my posts..
I said a number of times, and I'll say again: It's THEIR HOMES WE ARE INVADING, not the other way around. We are people, we have knowledge to try and live side by side with wild animals.. most of us just don't want to (or don't care) use it out of ignorance..
And yes, Zoo animals are often well fed and less aggressive than their wild counterparts, which still wouldn't constitute my points as any less relevant =)
Don't make me make another reply
45 Posted 407 days ago by USAnumber1
You just don't get it...we are the dominate species and if I buy a little 3 acre farmette out in the country then it is MY home now . You are apparently willing to convey to animals the right of ownership of land and I am not. I read all posts very carefully and you are stuck in the same groove about the land being THEIR homes; maybe it used to be but when people move in then critters have to go. If you are an animal-rights activist or something then we are never going to agree on this one. You are evidently ok with predators taking humans as menu items as a course of nature while I believe humans are the ones who must survive and eliminate dangers to their family's well-being. Now this does not include those people who decide to go trasping off into the deep woods in cougar or grizzly territory with nothing more than an appreciation for nature and a pocket knife. When they get eaten or mauled I really do not have much sympathy for them. But when cougars move down into developed areas and start killing pets and people a high-powered rifle is the answer.
46 Posted 407 days ago by USAnumber1
Oh yea MsZoomy....deal. Bit by a snook? How big was that ol'fishy?
Do your friends call you 'snook-bait' now? hehehehe
47 Posted 406 days ago by moskwiz
So this is where we disagree..
I believe that Man should respect the other species that live on this planet. After all we are all inhabitants of the same world. And I believe that if a new suburb is built on a rattlesnake 'infested' area, then killing off the rattlesnake population and justifying it with Man having to defend itself or whatever such is not the right answer.. That's ignorant. We are intelligent, rattlers aren't! We have more ways to defend ourselves than rattlers, we should use them!!!
But I'm really done now.. Pretty sure you're gonna want to have the last say in this so this is my last post.
Until the next touchy-subject video I bid you farewell
48 Posted 406 days ago by MsZoomy (admin)
#46 I was trying to get the hook out of his mouth, dropped the pliers he wriggled and clamped down on my thumb, then I dropped him!! LOL he was a few inches shy of the legal limit at the time anyway! I think it startled me more than it hurt.
49 Posted 406 days ago by shimmerman
@#40....
I'd rather have a video game fused to my hand than something else which is obviously what you have, which in turn is doing damage to your narrow minded opinion and also swelling your lonely ego, hey why don't we just wipe out every other animal in the world and be done with it!! go usa go!
ps....I'm sure that you would add that there is a few people in the world that you would eradicate as well, if they are in your way!!! maybe you should read what you have written, stand back and have a good old think to yourself!!!then look in the mirror and understand why you act the way you do!!!lol
50 Posted 406 days ago by Oldfart
@#49 Wiping out every other animal in the world would be an "extremist's" solution which coming from you would make sense since you seem to be "extremely" stupid. You still have not offered anything of value to this forum,only personal attacks which I find amusing.A real lack of substance from you. Please give everyone you thoughts on if having dangerous animals in your living area is a good idea. Any thoughts on that?
The only thing that comes close to being fused to my hand is my Ruger .44 Mag revolver, but that is not anything special since in the US almost everyone has one or two of them.
By the way in case you did not see it in other posts,oldfart is my nick when I am home; USAnumber1 is my nick when at the office.
51 Posted 402 days ago by Bitter_Torrenter
I'm gonna just skip past the paragraphs about whether or not the snake should or should not have lost his head... and just comment about how FREAKY it was to see it snap. Incidently I have chopped the heads off of many a snake (usually water moccassins, not spelled right I know, that come up from the lake by my house) but I've never seen this happen!
