You must not live in the right part of Texas. There are parts of Texas where they abound. I'm not going to get all of the details right about this, but years ago, a fellow who lived in Texas--a tiny little place northwest of Austin--told me about some kind of rattlesnake roundup that some place (I assume not very far from there) had, a thing like a fishing tournament, but only you're trying to catch as many rattlesnakes as possible, instead of fish. If I'm not mistaken, he said that people would actually reach into crevices and holes and things on the sides of cliffs and pull them out.
But, they may be like game animals, where people can get them for themselves or accept them as gifts, but you really can't buy them anywhere.

Well it is way northwest of Austin but yes once a year Sweetwater has the rattlesnake roundup.
And yes I am in the correct part of Texas, but I am more scared of what I would find with the rattlesnakes.
Oh and keep in mind on that roundup, they are just invading a few known dens.
And no they are not available in a store.
