The mexicans at work like them :chuckle:

And no its not worth the time, Every one that I killed last year was when I was running down back roads. I only killed them because there are kids that ride there bikes down these roads and play. Didnt want the risk to be there...

If you are looking for Texas-size rattlers around here, these little fellas will be a letdown.  :sry:

You will need to contact WDFW to ask if it's o.k to sell them. I will let others make the call to find out the next part :tup:
