I met Paul at Vero Beach gun show and I like what he does. I was jut watching swamp people and they were killing and tagging what they said were dangerous gators with traps and shooting. Paul is much more humane. Do the swamp people eat the tails and are the gators over populated in La. or why to they hunt them?

Diamondbacks have many predators and not always because the predator wants to eat them. Animals such as deer, antelope, cows and horses regard the diamondback as a threat and they may try to trample or stomp the snake. Eagles, hawks, roadrunners, kingsnakes, coyote, bobcats or fox are predators who look at these snakes as a source of food.
ondbacks will often spend the hot daytime hours coiled in the shade of low-growing shrubs, piles of natural or artificial debris, or rocks. They will also utilize underground burrows of other animals. In the winter, they retreat into caves or similar places to hibernate
Currently, western diamondback rattlesnakes are not threatened or endangered.
These snakes can live approximately 15-20 years in captivity.
Size
This snake ranges in size from 3 to 5 feet long with a few reaching 7 feet long
The rattle of the rattlesnake is made up of a protein called keratin (the same protein that your hair and fingernails are made of). A new segment is added each time a rattlesnake sheds, but they can shed at different rates. Because of this, and the fact that segments can break off, you really can't tell a snakes age by counting the segments.
A rattlesnake can move its rattle back and forth 60 or more times per second.
Diet
Mice, rats, rabbits, gophers, ground dwelling birds, lizards and other small animals make up the diet of this snake.
