pffffffffft, 2 inches of snow on the ground sticking for a cpl of days and them places shut down like it was a hurricane. They actually have festive campaigns with loads of people catching rattle snakes lest someone's cowboy booties get nipped should they wander far astray from the Walmart parking lot.
The snakes have literally been evolving because of this, not so prone to shaking their rattles when alarmed or increasingly simply not having any on their tales. Now the butchers can get bit in peaceful quiet. Those other predators have likewise been hunted to miniscule numbers. Badgers and wolverines are crazy killers tho.
When an Aussie I know posted a pic of one of those spiders on Discord once, I had to look it up because it was hard to believe it wasn't a joke. I thought I've seen some nasty critters in my grandpa's house going up the mountains in Puerto Rico, but gosh damn, those are freaky...
