Please use extreme caution if you attempt to capture a rattlesnake. If you are not a trained professional do not attempt this, it is dangerous and could be illegal in certain states, communities and wildlife areas. The other issue with capturing a rattle snake with the intention to sell it is that the selling of dangerous animals is highly regulated.

Obtain a stick that is length of snake's striking distance, keep your distance. Be careful not to disturb it which may cause coiling/striking. Without touching snake, place crotch of Y below jaw area, quickly push stick to ground, set opening of bag in front of snake, bag and tie top.

You can catch a rattlesnake with a long pole with a V on the end to hold the head and use a pillowcase to put it in.

Steamer trunk. Fishing rod. Apple on the end of 30lb. test line. Rattlesnake bites into the apple, you whip the line towards the opened steamer trunk, then close the lid.

My advice is to not even attempt something like this. The risk of injury is too great. Even professional snake catchers get bitten. Also, depending on where you live, it may be against the law to capture and/or sell rattlesnakes. If you still want to proceed, call a professional to catch the snake for you.

You have to get control of it's body from right behind the head. Use a long stick to pin it down and then scoop the snake into a cloth satchel.
