This is what I'm thinking. The pict is a little grainy, but I think I'm seeing horns above the eyes.

How's the dog doing?


Took the fire out of her for sure. Lots of panting, foaming, crying.

A little cottonmouth tagged my GSP on the leg a few weeks back. He limped around for about a week, but shook it off. Hope your girl recovers quickly.

Yep, sidewinder. Was crazy this made its way into a neighborhood and one near me. Beautiful snake!

Figured I would share since that was one I don't think I've ever seen posted in here or years past.

Poor thing. She's got the look of "I'm approaching that thing a different way next time before I kill it".

JRTs are tough. She will bounce back. I miss my JRT.

I always thought sidewinder was a generic term for a rattlesnake. Didn't realize it was a specific type. That pic is really cool but not on your porch

Previous JRT didn't really react much but had swelling the size of a tennis ball. This one reacted with shaking, foaming, panting, drooling, diarrhea, beside herself etc...

We figured she has likely saved us from the pain and expense of 4 potential moccasin bites in the last 2 years... so we took her in to vet, left her overnight and gave her the anti-venom.

Anybody know where or how to snake train a dog...west Houston. I have no doubt she will go after the next one.

This is the quickest we ever got outside when hearing the snake bark and it is the only time she got bit. She killed 1 other moccasin and the other she was after but was careful.

JRT are trained killers.

Sidewinder was my guess as well (would've been a pretty lucky guess). I'm still not great with rattlesnake species IDs so I always like when one of these pops up.

Many thanks to both of yall. My shop is 300 yards from the airport and I grew up in Sealy, so love the area where pecan hills is located.

Just so you know what to expect, the procedure I saw (and was effective for my GSP)…. they use live rattlesnakes and put an ecollar on the dog. Then walk the dog toward the snakes and as soon as it alerts, it gets a jolt. Then repeat, although most dogs don't need a second jolt. The dogs give the snakes a wide berth.

Awesome. Sounds good to me. She is collar trained and reacts well to snapping of fingers, vibration, beep, loud voice or light shock.

If you're married, do not bring your wife. They shock the ever living hell out of them and some people don't respond well to that.

Snakes mouths stapled shut or fangs removed right?

My recollection was that the snakes were defanged.

Here's an old article about the program. Sorry for the source.

Snake falls from sky onto woman, then gets (re)claimed by a hawk.

Poor woman had a rough day but now has a new perspective on life.
