 Just lucky I guess. But what exactly are we looking at? Is that a big triangular head, or does it just look that way?

Re: Yesterday's Herping trip - garter pics included
It is the larger Northern pacific rattlesnake that is coiled up in my first set of pics. About 30-36 inches long.
True, its not really hard to see, but you can also see how easily you could walk right by one like that. The gilberts skink was found the same way- just happened to spot it through the grass. Always makes me wonder how many more I miss.

Very nice finds. I saw the rear of one Timber Rattler last year and that has been it over the last three years as far as Rattlers

Re: Yesterday's Herping trip - garter pics included
I adore Rattlers, and although I have kept many species in the past I have never seen one in the wild.... a situation I hope to remedy one day.
