 3 little rattlers.

Well, I woke up this morning to post the coolest pic of all time. 3 sub adult rattlers looking out of one big rock. As I went to down load the photos from last nights run I noticed they were deleted by my now headless son Evan....if only you could have been there to see them..

hahaha laughing at the headless son comment... and I bet they were ones Quarles found while out poking around for just such a discovery... from the posts on this forum he seems to have a sixth sense about where to find snakes....

Very true! I have looked for years and can’t find a den but we have never really, I mean really looked hard. Timbers just don’t get my juices flowing enough to make me want to hike deep in the mtns and find a den. If it isn’t a100 of the road then screw it....

You have been far more patient then me on that exploration. Is it way off the road?

Yepper, but I don’t ever mention a den site on the net, plus it’s the only one I have ever found on my own. Out of the 40 or so we have seen my son has only removed one tiny little baby. That den is most likely several hundred if not thousands of years old. Please, please don’t sell out and give up that location.....

There is another site that ReptiLover and I know about 1 mile from my house but I have occasionally found 1 or two there but it is an old rock quarry s I doubt any workers would have spared them back then. it was probably found by a gravid female and started a small population. We found a super skinny timber there in June, force fed it and then put him back. It actually might have been a release of mine from a few years ago trying to find a meal.

I have never seen a rattler den, other than photos. That must be fun to revisit over the years. Don’t blame you for hiding the location.

You have to hide them because each person will tell one and before you know the entire town knows and then it’s the uneducated idiot that kills the den thinking he’s doing something great..
