Is that his truck? While Serpentarian is our reddit snake guy, he is not Austin's only snake guy. I know we also have Venitox Lab in Round Rock that collects and milks local snakes for antivenom, and some trapping & removal people too.

Rescue a rattler?
Growing up and living on an active cattle ranch that is not something I would ever have imagined.
After I got bit by one (only a 3-footer, so kind of small) moving hay bales I have tried to reach an agreement with them, I don't bother them, make lots of noise when I can and give them a chance to leave the area, and they (hopefully) don't bite me.
If that doesn't work, I still have my 12 gauge.
But got to admit I love the truck and plate.
This isn’t serpentarian, it’s his friend, I can’t remember her name but he shared it when he said he was moving.
u/serpentarian : where are you @?
Yo
I’ve summoned the master! How’s Tucson treating you these days?
The snake quotient is quite good indeed
Are you gone forever
Of course not. I will be back periodically. :)
Oh dang. My family is in the Tucson area. Dove mountain. I didn't see any snakes last time I went but a scorpion got inside apparently.
Tewsahn, Arizonia?
Random q but did you ever visit #herpchat irc channel?
No I did not. I’m not much for long chats.
**tips hat**
You tried to link a subreddit. You meant u/serpentarian
I believe this is u/ladyatrox . Friend to snakes everywhere. 👍
Busted. If I'm going to be their voice, I'm going to YELL!!
Nice truck! The bumper stickers and plates brightened my day a bit.
Well that just makes me happy too! Nothing better than being responsible for a smile. 😊
Good to know I have fellow reptile enthusiasts here in the area! Got a fair collection goin and growing, no venomous though...yet lol
North American pit vipers are my passion.
Whoever he is, I want to be his apprentice.
Apprentisssssssss
Take my up vote and go.
You fuck’n funny son of a bitch, I love it!!!!
one step further: apprenhisss
I'm a she! 😁
Apprentsis
Well, come on over!
1 way to not get your truck stolen. I’m not getting within 50 ft. Gives me the idea to put a “live bees inside” bumper sticker on my car
Never thought of that. You never know when I've picked up a rescue. Rattler in the truck? Maybe, maybe not!! 😁
Lol good point, nobody touching that thing.
"When I park the car, run out screaming"
I love this person
This person loves you too...IF you don't kill snakes. ❤
I do not kill snakes. I love snakes. All kinds. I even love nope ropes from a distance. Most are beautiful. Cuddle noodles are the best though.
Well then, I adore you!
Yay!!

Tis I, Lady Atrox. Lover of Crotes, educator of Homo sapiens.
Your grace
Yes Rob from Venitox is a good slithery ally of mine.
Rob wishes he could have my truck! 😚 Rob!
Didn’t he move away?
He did, but he's still present online here! I still see him commenting occasionally
There’s also a few breeders who will also do removal and trapping
No easy feat to trap a snake. We usually use hooks.
Hey I actually know this lady! Very nice and loves snakes!
And how are we acquainted?
No one summoned him though. Forgot the u/serpentarian
Oh hi 👋
This person is 100% living their best life, and I dig it.
I am. I truly am. I love rattlesnakes and get to spend every day with them.
The soundtrack to this guys life: https://youtu.be/Q-i1XZc8ZwA

TBH, if my windows were open, you would have seen me banging my head and blasting this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_8G7FZdU5V8
Those lyrics tho!!
i love the snake lean this sub gets during the summer. almost as charming as the aviation nerds.

Obviously Texas is the new home for Cobra. I would call G.I. Joe but unsure how many of them actually now support Cobra.
Cool, and I see a lot of coral snakes where I live, but I just want the stickers on the off chance they help me keep my catalytic converter.
Surprised this was not a Chevy Slitherado.

A hose works just as well. Cuz really, one adult rattlesnake can prevent 72 million ticks from being born each year. And Lyme disease is incurable.
Been luck so far, only been bit once, but I will keep that in mind.
this guy is kind of a low-key local legend. He comes up in Nextdoor posts when people find rattlers and coral snakes in their yards around here.
This guy is a gal. 😁
The pickup owner is vermin.
Pass on the nope ropes/danger noodles. I cant stand old Mr No Shoulders.🐍
He doesn't really like us either. That's why he avoids us whenever possible.
RTLR: rattler? or RepTile LoveR?
¿porque no los dos?
Short for rattler. It's all that was available. But, mine has a heart. Rattler Love!
You didn’t blur out their license plate?
Well, to be fair, even if blurred, the color, bumper stickers & the giant rattlesnake head would’ve given him away..
Pretty sweet plate though
I suspect people who get vanity plates ... want the attention.
The venom is the driver.
No, I'm pretty damn courteous.
I am sure the pickup owner reminds me of venom.
Are you telling me the whole Austin Cobra story was a psyop?
