What should I do if I see a rattlesnake?
First, back away. Rattlesnakes aren’t aggressive to humans unless threatened or frightened. If they sense you, they will usually try to escape. Give them space to do so. Shouting won’t scare them off either - they don’t have external ears.
Don’t wave things at them because that may agitate them. Don’t try to push them off the trail with a stick – that’s often how people do get bitten.
