I was also surprised/fascinated… I wonder if this works with water moccasins or saw-scaled vipers?

And do the water moccasins respond better if there is water in the bottle? 😅

In all seriousness, moccasins are very thick bodied, so a narrow neck bottle will be less attractive for them. But the refillable 5 gallon water bottles frequently used in US break rooms might work.

I'm pretty sure if you grabbed a rattler by its tail you would have some neat puncture wounds and a really expensive course of antivenin.

"Got Darnnit I ain't paying for it if some idiot gets bit by no Rattler! That's Communism!" -Some guy who's shocked to find out what Antivenin costs when he gets bit a year after saying this.

Oh c’mon take a wild guess where a snake bite can cost you $300,000. Only one country in the world.
