Thats actually a cooler find than pygmy. That is actually a Massasauga. Their hemotoxin is worse than a pygmys. Great find.

@gtrpkr1 It's actually a hemotoxin like most rattlesnakes.

Those little fellas carry a very nasty venom.Different from a diamondback.Neurotoxin that tries to shut down your lung function.

Beautiful snake. I hope you did not kill it.

@Snakeman418 Oh no, neither the MHBC or the folks who coordinate the MO Bug Hunt would do that/have done that. :) We all have a lot of respect and interest in rattlers.
