baby rattle


Pretty sure this is a baby rattle snake. He was coiled up and actually struck at me. If you zoom in - you can get a good look at him - was only about 8" long and about as big around as a sharpie pen. Looked around to make sure that his big brother nor parents were around - took the picture - and moved on. It reminded me that this is real - eastern diamondback rattle snakes can kill you - need to pay a little more attention.

He's pretty cute. Much like baby sharpies. I'd still scream like a girl, though.
