I'm dying to know, how does a person go about snake hunting?

A water hose and a pinch of gas is all it takes to get them to come out. Of course, there are sometimes more than one exit hole and the snake or snakes can end up behind you which isn't too good on the heart.

Is that where they live in winter, underground? I always wondered where they kept themselves in winter?

What are saw-palmetto berries and what are they used for??grannysoo":2khziqah said:They will live in the gopher holes and also bed up in the palmetto plants.
If you ever wonder why saw-palmetto berries are so expensive, go pick them. After you've picked up a few rattlesnakes to go along with them, you'll understand why they cost so much. It takes either a brave or crazy soul to do this job.
Several places in South GA have rattlesnake round-ups every year. The only place I want to see them however is in the sites of my gun. They give me the heeby-jeebys.....
