What would you do if you found a rattlesnake den under your shed?

Burn it down? Grab them individually and harvest their venom? Sell them to one of those progressive rural churches?

I'm leaning towards burning that place down and hopefully taking as many of them out as possible. Any that escape likely won't be returning because the shed won't exist anymore...and they'd have PTSD from seeing all of their snake friends burn.

I’d torch the shed. Scorched earth.

You light that shed on fire and those rattlesnakes are going anywhere else that isn’t on fire.







You blow it up of course.

I'd pour a gas/oil mixture on the sides of the shed where I wanted the snakes to avoid, and light that on fire first. Then use a molotov cocktail for the shed.

Flying flaming snakes? That won't traumatize the kids.

I wouldn't freak out. Maybe research and try to find a professional who would remove them at a good cost. If too pricey maybe just spend an afternoon popping them one by one with a shotgun? Would make a hell of a bachelor party.

I silently shake my head "no", then walk away while Zelle-ing some nice man however much he's asking to make sure that by time I come back, there's nothing but freshly laid green sod where that once existed.

What would you do if around 9:00ish PM you heard a ruckus on your porch? You heard just odd sounds that wouldn't stop, so you ease the door open, turn the light on, and peep out. What you see startles you because you've never seen anything like it. There, right on the front porch where, just a few hours earlier, you had sat to cool off and drink a glass of ice water now is a slithering mass of some 200 rattlesnakes in midst of a passionate, no holes barred, snake orgy. They are on the floor, on chairs, on the gliding swing thing. They've rooted under your once innocent "The grass is always greener underneath my wiener" Dachshund welcome mat. They are in the sweet embrace of ecstasy all over the small, kid's size dining table and chairs you bought at the flea market last Summer for the grandbabies. All you see is a giant ball of writhing rattles and fangs. The sound is so much louder than you believe it could be. They have no decency. They have no shame! Two hundred of them doing THAT right out in front of God and everybody on YOUR FRONT PORCH!

Yeah, that shite happend to a neighbor (the term is used loosely, but they are fairly close) of ours. They called the game wardens who told them, "Just leave them alone and don't bother them. You will likely never see them again after tonight." That's right, just a bunch of sorry arse, one-night-stand, non-calling arse, deadbeat rattle snakes!

Barbecue? Sauce Picante? I'm not sure of the appropriate recipe.
