Excellent day for herping.
Saw a few Copperheads, Black Rat Snakes, Box Turtles, and this fellow. No worries fellows, all were unharmed. Sorry about the photo quality but all I had was my phone.

This is ARF, where snakes are the libtards equivalent to guns. They are icky and dangerous.

Sure, the herping is always good. But more importantly, how was the derping?

I can't decide whether you should have killed it with fire or nuked it from orbit....get both.

Nice find!
Did a rattlesnake presentation at work today. Had a yearling western diamondback and an adult Black-tailed rattler with me, good day! |

While I will be the first to admit that I turn into a 10 year old girl when confronted by a snake, the fact that they are really very pretty and fascinating doesn't escape me. That is a good looking rattler.

We do have Canebrakes on the coast and they are offered a measure of protection due to rarity here in Va.. I find it somewhat odd however that we have no protection for the highland form since they are both still classified as Crotalus horridus. |

I thought Timbers were protected throughout their range? Here in Va. we can posses up to 5 of the highland form, but as mentioned, none from the eastern population. Not quite sure how that makes any sense to the state since, as you know, they are classified as one and the same. I still keep a few hots, but prefer CBB whenever possible. |

Who goes herping (especially in crot habitat) without a DSLR?
Crots are meant to be shot close up.

Odd, but we have odd herp laws here in Az too. I prefer to roll my own too (cbb) but yo have to start somewhere. |

I have children and animals. If on my property, I'd kill it. If I found it in the wild, I'd kill it. If it was the last breeding pair of rattlers on the planet, if kill them both three times each.
I've had a dog die from a rattler bite and a buddy nearly die from only one fang hit to the calf. |

I had a black rat snake past a foot or so from me today. Big ass snake.
He was in my garden. I let him be. Good snake. Now down by my pond if its a cotton mouth all bets are off. |
