I "cringed" watching this video as I HATE Rattlers and really any other snake. But the outcome was great....still remember one of my Dad's GSP who got bit in the chest and died AND me just missing a strike when we were dove hunting many years past! We live just a 100 yards from Lake Granbury and snakes, spiders, critters are a way of life....

Great video! I would love for a snake expert to describe what happened here. The rattler acting so strange with his head down (I think you might have arrived after the initial encounter as someone stated above), the indigo biting him in random places.
Also, I'd love to know that science behind the indigo not being affected by the venom?
Did you watch the indigo eat him? Curious what happened there.

Originally posted by jerp View PostI think your first theory is more likely - by the time you got there the Indigo had already partially disabled the rattler. Otherwise I would think it would have been in it's classic defensive posture - coiled and rattling. What I found odd is how the Indigo started chomping the rattler in several places up and down it's body instead of going for it's head. I wonder what that is all about? Cool video!
