Some users on social media are sharing a photograph purporting to show a rattlesnake suckling her young. The photo is fake. Rattlesnakes don’t nurse. The photograph shows a number of dead snakes arranged on a table. Some viewers may find it upsetting.
A Facebook post with the photo here published on March 3 2021, reads: “PSA: spring is the time of year when baby rattlesnakes are born. The momma s are very protective, especially when they re feeding. Be careful out there.”
Reuters could not determine the original source of the picture. It appears to show a beheaded rattlesnake with smaller snakes, possibly young rattlesnakes, lined up beside it.
