rattle snakes do it to let you know they mean business. they have rattles in their tail.
black snakes shake their tails against brush to imitate that sound.
i have heard it also. how would they know what a rattle snake sounds like?
They don't like being moved out of the garage

Only close call I have had was while climbing near Annapolis Rock in Maryland a couple years ago. Near the top one of the crevices I went to stick my hand in hand this little guy waiting. Gave me a hell of a scare.

That’s black racer. We see a couple of snakes a week here at the house this time of year.Ran into this one Easter Sunday at falls. Dog took notice of it and when I went over it was rattling it’s tail in the dry leaves .

I agree… MOST of the time… but when they’re in foul mood, they’re worse than a grizzly with a sore tooth.Been my experience that timbers, especially big ones like that, are usually pretty docile....
Prarrie rattlers?We’ve saw 2 “serious” snakes out here in Kansas. One was within striking distance and never once “alerted”. The other was sounding off profusely and we weren’t even that close.
No sir. I’m not far enough West to be in their range. These were massasaugua rattlersPrarrie rattlers?
I'd take those any day before 90% of people walking around Asheville
Was thinking the same thing.There are moccasins in Asheville?
