IN Red Dead Redemptionsnakes are one of the most elusive creatures to track down because they live far from busy cities and roads. Additionally, snakes don't move like other animals, and their low-profile nature can make you walk past them without even noticing them. However, if you want to unlock Success Unnatural Selection or get the Expert Hunter outfit, you'll have to track and download these crawling creatures.




Unlike other wild creatures, snakes usually hide in bushes, making them even more difficult to spot as you explore the world. However, keeping your ears open for distinct rattles when you are near these reptiles will make them easier to track and hunt.

As mentioned earlier, snakes are difficult to spot because they are comfortable blending in with their surroundings or hiding in bushes. However, when you are near a snake, you will hear distinct rattle which can help you determine its location.

If you get too close to the snake, John can take a snake bite, which takes a lot of health damage. So consider slowing down when you hear a rattle and try to identify the source of the sound before you go to it.

If you are on horseback, you will notice that the horse turns restlessly when a snake is nearby, which is also a cue to tread carefully.


While hunting a snake, avoid using strong weapons like a shotgun or Buffalo Rifle. These weapons tend to destroy the carcass and prevent skinning. Light weapons such as pistols, revolvers and repeaters are ideal for snake hunting.
