Tail Shaking
I've had my share of kings, corns, and other snakes do the rattlesnake impression on me with their tails but I have never seen a BP do it until tonight.
She litterally hissed, coiled back, and started the tail shaking shaking like crazy when I went to reach in.
Anyone else ever see this? Have I just been lucky over the years and never dealt with a wannabe rattler BP? |

Re: Tail Shaking
Weird.
I'm used to the coil back and strike or hiss and strike but I have never seen the tail shake before a strike.

Re: Tail Shaking
My bp does like to hiss but never has done the rattlesnake impression to me. All though my burm has done it when he was a baby. |

Re: Tail Shaking
LOL, Tail shaking is a nervous reaction rather than a learned behavior, even in Rattle Snakes.
