Are those a bunch of C. atrox you are standing in the middle of?

And why?

And how did they get there?

And please tell me they are just really docile and sleepy, rather than dead or dying...

What a freaking slaughter... horrible.

I would have a hard time being there and not getting into a fistfight.

Its a rattlesnake roundup. Hopefully one of the few that release the snakes after the 'big boys' have played with them. At most roundups they slaughter them

yeah, it's hard...I've been a snakelover my whole life. That's part of what got me interested in the Texas rattlesnake roundups. I don't like it. I've even taken some babies home with me before. But, I'm also a journalist, and one that primarily works on documenting social issues or feature stories about interesting cultures in America.
I've been doing this project awhile now and I can say that I definately understand both sides. I don't like seeing the snakes killed...but it's interesting to understand the point of views of the people that live with them on a daily basis.
It's a little bit much to describe the process and the story here...but I'm working on a photography book that is documenting the Texas rattlesnake roundups and I'm hoping that this will help people understand what these things are, what the culture and the people are like and to preserve them in photos and a book for future populations...because they are fading away. At one time there were around 30 roundups throughout Texas and now there are only 6 left. I'm not saying it's right or wrong...I try not to take sides on this issue. I've got friends who are rattlesnake hunters and daredevil snakehandlers, as well as scientists on the other side.
So, yeah the first pic is in the main pit of Western Diamondback rattlesnakes at a roundup. At that point, they are very much alive...but usually cool (temp wise) so they're not as active as they would be.
So, try not to judge everyone without trying to see both sides...even if we don't necessarily like one side.
And yes, the rattlesnake roundups are affecting the population of western diamondback rattlesnakes. Numbers are necessarily going down, but sizes of the snakes is getting smaller.

thanks,
Chris

 

[Tony]

I dont get the 'dont judge' thing....Living in an animals habitat and slaughtering them out of fear and hatred doesnt deserve 'understanding'...I understand being fearful of alot of things but I try to rationally deal with them..

I guess we could apply the same non-judgemental attitude to lynchings and cross burnings...

sorry, the roundup thing P's me off
The Hot Artharitis has it wrong...

[Crotalus]

Agree Tony.
6 roundups left in Texas is 6 too many
