I did not know that you could train them. Fetch? Roll over?

I just signed up for venomous snake training on May 23. I tried a month ago, but the event was canceled due to the shutdown. I can't wait. I've only ever seen a Rattlesnake in the wild in Zion Nat. Park. All the others were in zoos.
Be aware that a large part of that training (for your dog, I assume), is based on smell, and to a lesser degree sight and sound. The training usually utilizes a Western Diamondback, which is the most prevalent. But you could also encounter a Mojave, where the training might not click nearly as well. And the mojave has a more deadly venom.
When in doubt, mumble |
