Rattlers are, indeed, beautiful snakes. They really should not be messed with. If they encroach into a human zone, then it's okay to remove them to a non-human zone but otherwise, they should be given a wide birth. They are the rare, really nice animal that warns you that it's there and dangerous. We should appreciate that courtesy and give them the room they need.

What kind of rattler is it?
We only have one species in Canada.

i wasnt around. my dad and his friend were messing with it. i personaly never mess with snakes. i was driveing a while back and a big copper head with takeing up my lane. i swerved and fish tailed down two lanes. iv hit deer and possems. everything.(not that im ok with it) but i cant hit a cat lizzard or snake. its to sad its just because the turtles go the reflectors thinking its food. and the snakes want to b warm.
