Did you know that you are not suppose to put your hand near a dead rattlesnake? Why? Even after 30 minutes, the snake's nervous system is still functioning. Rattlesnakes have thermal sensors at the front of their faces, so anything emitting heat right in front of it causes the snake to automatically lunge forward and bite. It's a pretty handy reflex when it comes to hunting at night...maybe not so much when you're dead.
