Thread: rattlesnakes

so i think there may be rattlesnakes at my outdoor grow...? looked it up and cicada kind of sounds like a rattlesnake... anyways i haven't *seen* the "rattlesnake" but i might of seen these other little bugs. Either way.. any good diy rattlesnake repellent that are safe to use?

you could try one of those plastic owl's

just watch where you step.. rattle snakes'll keep away rippers too

lol @ plastic owl.. yea i figured im up shit creek on this one.. also figured yeah its pretty good grow security.. instant karma for anyone stumbling thru the area not paying attention to their surroundings

wut would be good... is to catch it... take a hockey stick... or long L shaped stick... and pin it down!!! from its head!!! then take a knife and cut his head off... then u will be fine!!!

nah im not into the senseless killing. Prob not the smartest to go rattlesnake hunting... plus a hockey stick is a little out of place being that the weather here is 90 degrees

Ha Ha ! Be careful I have a grower friend in Mendacino that says the rattlers like to hang out under his plants in the heat of the day. Thread lightly my friend . Waterdog

my 1 and a half footers aren't too good of a cover for anything to hide, thanks for the advice though

You could put up a sign "protected by watch rattlesnakes" JHC that sure as hell would keep me away.

Yup big feet!

Just stomp yer way in, the rattlers will split.

They can't hear but they do feel vibrations through the ground.
Little vibrations, they hunt.
Big ones, they run from.
Be da big ones.

anyone in the area uninvited will have to find out about the snakes on their own.. signs would just draw more attention as its a rural area.. and yeah i normally do stomp around cause theres cheat grass and vines and all kinds of vegetation near my grow

You be fine den "stompy guy".
You da beeg rattler.

Tread lightly?
Get bit!

Heck!
Sneak up on me, maybe I gonna bite, yah?

Aloha.
Beware of 'zard

I was just kidding. Make sure you carry a long walking stick with you and stomp around with it, snakes are generally spooked easily and won't attack unless cornered.

awesome lizard! Maybe someday ill make it to the island... its a long swim though :P

and the rattlesnake turned out to be a bullsnake? im guessin just was makin rattling noises slitherin thru the dried grass.. was a nice 2-3 foot though

oh and the blueberry reveg is turning into a crazy canopy like 2 foot tall and 3 foot wide, burmese kush is a week into flower smellin like pinesol lol and my 2 gdps one is bushy as fuck and the other i topped is growing extremely slow

Excellent line-up

Ah!

Or a blacksnake, those tricky buggahs will rattle their tails in dry leaf litter when spooked.
So will a hog-nosed snake.
They are mostly harmless so they try to scare ya away with that trick.
Prolly a nervous tic on their part, but it makes them seem sentient.

Black racers and bullsnakes will then split, but the hog-nosed will coil-up and act all fierce.
If that no work, touch it anywhere and it will fake a painful death then play possum.

In my youth, I was an amateur herpetologist.

There are no snakes on the islands so we are up to our asses in rats while Riki-tiki-tavi goes hungry!
I kind of miss the snakes.

Aloha,
Us 'zards knows our reptiles.

kickass man, thanks

#1 Buku cola #2 buku baby gdp and bigger gdp #3 already forgot but i think its the BuKu with baby gdp chillin #4 big gdp #5 The blueberry re-veg bonsai likea mofo

the gdps almost doubled in size +++

Looking good! Don't worry about one of them flowering already we're experiencing this pehenomenon on the west coast, even some of the busts they are making in the national forest are reporting budding plants so yeah it's weird but not just for you! LOL

When you say re-veg plants, are these plants you had already grown full term then re-veged or were they plants that started budding when they were small?

The Blueberry re-veg was under a foot tall, and had been lst'd (the person i got them from said they had been budding for 2 weeks, but it looked more like 2weeks till it would of been finished) but anyways i ended up chopping the top cola drying curing and sampling it lol and being that i dont have a lamp it went outside and became the plant it is now. The buds that were on it shriveled into brown matter and eventually fell off the plant, and was replaced by tons of shoots. The last pic is the Blueberry and it prob has 30-40 tips

guessin the buku is a 8 week strain i should have 1 plant dryin the first week of sept
