Milking a rattlesnake involves carefully extracting its venom for research or medical purposes. This is typically done by restraining the snake using specialized tools and placing its fangs onto a collection vial. The snake may be gently encouraged to bite a rubber membrane covering the vial, allowing venom to flow into it. This procedure should only be performed by trained professionals due to the risks involved.
