The pic's of me I posted holding my edb's may be deceiving to some, in that they may believe that I just stroll in the wood's and pic up rattle snake's, nothing could be farther from the truth. I'm going to try and show what take's place before those pic's are taken.

WARNING!- What I do is DANGEROUS! AND I DONT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!

Now with that said this is how I begin,

When I first get the rattler's I leave them alone in their cage to get adjusted to their new home. After a week to two week's (it depend's on the snake) I begin spending time close to the cage. I'll take their hide out so they only have a bush to hide under then I'll sit almost up against the cage. I will just read a book or sometime's just take a nap, but the whole point is that they get used to my presence. This is not done in a single day, it may take many week's it just depend's on the snake. Once the snake's are at ease with my presence we move on to the next step.

I'll post the next step tomorrow.

BTW-This is not a "how to tame a venomous snake guide" this is just showing what all I do with my edb's before the pic's of me holding them. Thank's
