Rattlesnake Feeding

The rattlesnake at my work was recently fed, and I was lucky enough to film it. It's not very good quality and I apologize. My voice is the last one making the obvious statement: "I didn't realize it happened that quick!"

Striker the rattlesnake is one of the many animals cared for at Sacramento Splash. As a baby he was taken from the wild and used as a classroom pet (never handled by the children, obviously). Because he has been in an enclosure and around people his whole life he cannot be released. He was donated to Splash last November after the teacher had retired.

But Striker is more than your ordinary rattlesnake, he's famous. You can watch the CBS spot on him here.
