Even Rattlesnakes are beneficial to the environment as they keep the rodent population in check. Since humans are not a food source for rattlesnakes, they will try to avoid you whenever possible. Given the opportunity, they will try to escape. Our area is dense with rattlesnakes. Our neighbors catch and relocate them all the time. Just grab them with some snake tongs and put them in one of those home depot 5 gallon buckets with a lid. Then let them go somewhere else. In the 10. years we have been here, I have not seen one rattlesnake. Plenty of gopher snakes that we always appreciate. We are in the process of a mass extinction on this planet. We want to do whatever we can to slow down the process. As for Florida, it is my understanding that one of the biggest ecological problems are those pythons that are not indigenous to the area and are killing off a lot of the native fauna. Then there are those Lion Fish that people let go into the ocean from their aquarium and are now crowding out the local reefs.
