From what you said, I think the key is you know your subject. You mentioned a couple of the behaviors of the snake, one being it's striking distance. I'm guessing you might not handle a coiled rattle snake quite the same. Because the subject is different. Different striking distance and behavior.

The only rattlesnakes I've met so far are all Pygmy Rattlesnakes, but they are fun to photograph.
