What if there aren't any dry leaves around?

my pet corn snake did this when she was startled. It was really neat.

Black snakes do it too.

I caught one on its way into a crowded picnic area. It was about 6 1/2 feet long, very pretty, mostly docile, just scooped it up.

Hallo, am rattle

Still isn't a fun sound to hear when you're hiking.

There are blue racers near me, but rare. They will run from you and chase you, playing a kind of tag. Weird shit and they are fast.

Corn snakes will do this too.

Interesting. Does this count as tool usage?
CakeOrGlory
No because acknowledging animal intelligence would be reeeeeealll inconvenient at this stage.

I'm not enough of a herpetologist to do anything other than quickly head the other direction when I see a snake out in the wild. Clever one.

That's a good idea anyway. First idea when it for walks is to make a lot of noise. It scares most things away from you. They don't want a
Confrontation. Use a stick in front of you, shuffle your feet, kick rocks, etc. Scares other critters away, too.

“Harmless” ha! They bask on rocks on railroads. One chased me and leapt up to bite my butt leaving a bruise through jean pockets. Dicks!

They are just giant slithering biting black cocks is what they are.
SwayzeS
Had one scare my horse once. I was lucky not to get thrown on my head. Sneaky bastards. Fast, too.

Gopher snakes do the same thing, and even look similar to rattler's, except the heads.

My bull snake and California king snake both pretend they are rattle snakes if I accidentally startle them.
UncleScarwasright
twice my golf partners have mis-identified gopher snakes, because of this. I've had to scoot the snakes along, and get 'em out of harm's way

Ran into one of these [or a similar snake] on my way to work once. It shot across the sidewalk into the grass and shook it's tail at me.
Evolutionary speaking, all snakes do this to some effect...Rattlesnakes just wanted to do it louder

lol wanted

I mean that's how young earth creationists see evolution. We wanted to evolve the way we have so we did.

They're just slithery doggos who wag their tails when they get excited.

but why?

To make predators think he’s a rattler and is dangerous. Lots of snake species do this to imitate a rattler as a defense mechanism.

Why not just like… ya know BE a venomous snake

These things also go eye level with you out of nowhere and chase your ass. First time it happened I almost shit myself.
BaronZemoDisco
They live up their name. Saw a red racer chase someone down at bible camp one time. It was fuckin great. Quick fuckers though.
kwayit
Eye level? How tall are you?
Barely six foot. May have been under eye level, but when the fucker reared up like a goddamn cobra it may as well've been godzilla-sized.
SlightChungus
That lizard part of our brain just screams run it's gonna eat ya.
Yuuup
Can't really hurt humans though
Demmayyy
Your username ?
It still hurts my skin when they bite. I'm not going to die, but that isn't the kind of biting I'm into.
I disagree while bites are not much an issue, cornering one and it lunging at your face and you fall will hurt more than a bite.
LucianoIntorno
Can sure as hell hurt my feelings though when I shit myself.
