A Little Bit Rattled
We were out exploring Forest Service roads on Saturday and stopped the truck to look for a geocache. Just before we got out I heard a "hiss" that I recognized as a rattlesnake rattle. It took a few seconds for me to locate the snake, and it turned out to be just a couple of feet left of the front bumper.
This is a Western Rattlesnake, also know as a Prairie Rattlesnake. In this area they are a pale greenish color. If you were following our blog last year you might recall that we had one of these on our front door mat. We decided to move on and leave this guy alone.

ReplyDeleteI would be a little bit rattled myself. But then the rain has had be rattled!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are no rattle snakes Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge. I guess because it is higher in elevation.
