Seriously? A moderator posts B.S. as fact AND insults a huge demographic of the forum membership to boot?
Pit vipers, or rattlesnakes, are listed in the California Code of Regulations as detrimental to public health and safety, native wildlife or state agriculture and are not protected.Apr 2, 2010
However;
Reptiles fall under fishing license regulations, but the rules state that no sportfishing license is required for the sport take of any rattlesnake, but bag and possession limits do apply. No reptiles shall be taken from ecological reserves designated by the commission in Section 630 or from state parks, or national parks or monuments.
