Rattler

My first rattlesnake, seen with Patrick and Maura along Pine Mountain Road last week.

  1. Oh, gorgeous. Love them. Of all the snakes we caught back when I was in reptile and amphibian inventory mode (previous job), the most beautiful IMHO was the rattlesnake. And it had its own protocol. Open snake trap, step well away, and as it cruises to the nearest cover, eyeball its length. "What, about 3 feet?" "Yeah, sounds good to me!" =)
