CatfishKev Report post Posted yesterday at 12:29 AM @IA Born I just read an article today on my news feed that said that it's a misconception that baby rattlers are more dangerous because they haven't learned to control their venom. This was news to me, do you concur? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was news to me, do you concur? I'd love to see the article, @CatfishKev! It certainly goes against a long-standing theory about injection control. At the same time, I guess I'm not really overly surprised. I absolutely love rattlesnakes, but I think people give them too much credit for a level of intelligence as opposed to accepting their highly developed instincts.

I suppose its a question that's always been in the back of my mind, but you hear some of the experts you kind of idolized (for lack of a better term) talking about young rattlesnakes not controlling venom yield and it sits with you. Thanks for sharing the article! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
