Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Need some advice
Ok so... I have been called on by a relative to remove some rattlers from their property. They dont want their dogs to be bitten by them. I have no problems doing so as they also live in densely populated area as well. Would rather remove them than someone running them over.
Anyone have any suggestions as to where I should relocate them to. I would imagine that its going to be timber rattlers as they had me remove some the last time I was here, 10 yrs ago.

Any farther than 1 mile is more than likely a death sentence.
Telemetry studies have shown that most relocated rattlesnakes do not fare well when relocated.
You may want to consider sending them to a legit venom lab. I can assist with that.

If you do not want to send them to a lab, It would be better to take the chance that some might survive rather than leaving them where they are and relocate them to some remote spots that you know of.

Tim has the right of it. Translocating rattlesnakes is sentencing them to a slow death by starvation, stress, exposure, or predation. You won't be doing the rattlesnakes any favors by releasing them. If you don't take them to a venom lab, the ethical thing do to is to kill the snakes outright.
In general, it is also illegal to remove rattlesnakes without a permit in Oklahoma, although if they are creating a nuisance on privately owned land (as in this case), then no permit is required. For details, visit the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

They are in fact on privately owned land with an HOA. What I did was relocate them across the road on farm land that has no animals to threaten. This way, they wouldnt get run over as well as bite another persons pet. In Oklahoma, its open season on rattlers on the roadside. At least they are not so far from what they are used to and wont be in the road anymore getting hit.
