[QUOTE="MSA, post: 222389, member: 193"] I used to collect and supply the rattlesnakes for avoidance training in Idaho and Nevada many years ago. I'd place them in double cages out in the tall grass, when the dogs got close, the owners would zap em. It was a fun gig, but every time out some macho douche bag wanted to tease the snakes or try and shoot em with a pistol or something of that sorts. The hardest part of training the dogs was making sure one of the owners didn't get bit afterwards. I'm not sure about the whole "defanged" thing. Rattlers have alot of teeth and sometimes multiple fangs. It's waaaay to risky to try n pull teeth from a venomous snakes head, than just bare minimum handling.
