[QUOTE="2400, post: 217865, member: 3254"] And in addition to having extremely lethal venom, mohaves are really, really aggressive. A few years ago I was teaching a 4 day hunter ed class in the sticks. We were camping and sitting around relaxing when a couple of kids ran up yelling about a rattlesnake. By the time we were up and had got over to where the snake was supposed to be we weren't worried about it. We figured it was a western diamondback and that it would be long gone when we got there. NOPE, it was an extremely pissed off mohave and it was looking for a fight. We chopped the head off of it and while one of the Dads was digging a hole to bury it in I asked the class if they remembered me telling them about dead snakes stricking and biting. About 5 minutes had gone by since we had chopped the head off, when I tapped the head with the shovel it hit the shovel and left streaks of venom on it. You should have seen everyones big eyes at that! By the time the hole had been dug and all the kids had looked and held the snakes body about 15 minutes had gone by. I poked the head again with the shovel and POW it hit the shovel again. Lots of very big eyes at that. We buried the head to keep kids and dogs from "playing" with it. The kids had asked if they could eat it so we cooked the snake so everybody could try it. As far as I know we graduated the first class of "snake eaters" in the state. [/QUOTE]
