after two days he just wanted to let her go on the street but i said no way bro ill keep it. now its getting bigger and very agressive and i dont know what to do with her anymore…..any ideas? she looks so adorable but i have to let her go……please i want ideas.
please for your safety and the safety of other, contact your local animal control station, they will know what to do, they are trained to deal with all sorts of dangerous animals. Quite honestly having a rattlesnake is not worth it, i know it is a cool reptile, and i have some venomous myself, but for an inexperienced keeper, it is not worth the risk of loosing your life, so please, for you safety call someone who can take care of the situation properly
You have to do the right thing if you really care for her. Call animal control so that they can safely remove her from your home. They may find a place for her at a local zoo/reptile sanctuary or if she is healthy and isn’t dependent on humans for providing food they may let her go. Either way by keeping her you’re putting yourself and your snake at risk. If you get bitten and seek help they’ll take your snake and kill her. If you get bitten, do not seek help and die…well your snake suffers too. It could take days/weeks to figure out what happened, your snake could starve, or again they remove and kill the snake.
do the right thing call animal control, they have the training and know what to do. If you kept it you could get bitten and they would kill it for sure. And if you kept it then it will grow up to two feet long and could some serious damage to you or someone else. If you call animal control but still are attached ask them to try to get it to a zoo soo you could visit him/her anytime you wanted.
