I am moving to an area that has A LOT of rattle snakes. Especially this year because we have had a little rain. All my neighbors and pretty much everyone I know kill them. I do not want to kill them but I also don't want them roaming the house or property. I have a four year old, etc. I have a boa and have handled snakes for about 20 years however, I have not handled venomous snakes. I was thinking of getting a hook and a hot box and relocating them. Is it wise and is there a safe way to relocate these rattlers should I come across them on my property. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

My name is Malcolm I just turned 12 and I am really interested in snakes , scorpions ,and tarantunlas. I go outside every day and look for snakes on the side of the road and move them, but my mom thinks I should not do this because she thinks I will get bit by the venomous snakes I scare off the road. Any suggestions on what to do?

Dear Mark,
I've been a fan of you eversince I became a fan of the reptiles.I live in the south western part of India , near the western ghats were you've been recently.Now, I don't want to ask you about my chance of becoming a proffessional herpetologist.But there is one thing that I really want to ask.How do you catch the Rusell's viper without using tongs?I mean , I've seen them turning and biting the stick which is pinning them on the neck.they are rather common in the Travancore ara where i live but my experience in catching them is very limited.On a number of occassiions, I've had them almost jumping at me when i tried to remove them from some neighbouring houses.and if I leave the snake there, peoplr would gladly kill it,which I don't like.What's your suggestion?
Keep up the good work
Vishal

Dear Mr. Oshea
Since I am an animal researcher here in the UAE, and part of a breeding center for reptiles that are found locally, we are inviting you on behalf of the center, that if you would please pay us a visit and share with us your expertise.
Thank you very much
Sincerely
Ghubash
