These situations are incredibly dangerous. The poor Western Diamondback Rattlesnake got tangled in plastid netting. It’s process of restraining the head and cutting away mesh, without causing further injury to the snake.
This one seemed to be in bad shape at first, but after a few minutes out of the mesh it started acting perfectly normally, and was released to elsewhere within its estimated home range.
The homeowner said this is the first snake they’d seen in 42 years of living there, showing how much rattlesnakes just want to avoid people. If it werent’ trapped here, that no-snake streak would still be intact.
