I have had several side winders rattle snakes in my yard, and a couple of western diamond backs. I live "in the desert" not in the city. Mostly the WDB'S are not "too" aggressive, but those danged sidewinders will chase you. Had a scary episode one night when I came home late. The dogs had it cornered, barking their fool heads off, about 2 ft away from the snake (we have trained them the command "leave it" ) so I called them off, and tried to beat the ground to scare off the snake, and that jerk tried to chase me so I ran the dogs into the house and called the neighbor guy to come catch it.
