Julie and I both love snakes. They are amazing creatures, rattlesnakes included. We consider ourselves darn lucky when we are blessed to come upon a rattler. We both enjoyed this video and learned a few more valuable facts.

Thanks for the link, Mr. 3pin!
Them ain’t tail-rattlin' cuties, them’s buzz-worms, and given a respectful distance, I am purty fond of them, too.
Edit: I just finished watching, that’s great. Adrian’s enthusiasm for sand advocacy for the rattlesnakes is wonderful. I like the way Nick (Nick on the Rocks) conducted the interview. Mr. 3Pi, thanks for sharing!

Thanks,very fascinating video.
I also enjoy snakes and give them the respect they deserve.
We used to keep a 'Pet" Corn Snake that a friend hatched.
Sharon would keep it in her kinder classroom so the kids could watch it.
When it was time to feed it only a few kids wanted to watch the snake eat the live mouse.

In our area the weather has been great. Now that the weekend storm went through the overnight temps have been 21 ish. Snakes are moving toward hibernation and they are being ran over in the neighborhood due to they like the warm asphalt.
Here is a Pacific Gopher Snake about 3 -4 feet long that got ran over on our street yesterday. I moved it to it's final resting place to recycle into another animal.

Thanks! What a cool lady. I just cringe and have to bight my tongue when someone says “the only good snake is a dead snake”.
I think my next hike will have completely different objective.

Nope, nope, nope…I don’t fear them, they just give me the creeps. And of course, I’m like a snake magnet. 🤦‍♂️

We did a short backpacking trip and I was in the lead. Passed a rattlesnake sunning itself. Later my buddy asks me why I killed it. Huh? No idea whatever happened but to this day I think he still thinks I killed it. I'm pretty much in the don't bother me and I won't bother you camp.
