Like most people, it’s safe to say we’re fascinated by rattlesnakes. It’s not the we like or don’t like them, we’re simply really interested in these creatures. In fact, it’s probably closer to the truth to say that we’re afraid of them. Not afraid of these snakes when we see them, mind you, we’re much more concerned with the ones we don’t see — since those are the ones we’re likely to get too close to, Still, we don’t advocate for a “shoot on sight” policy for rattlers, cottonmouths, or copperheads.

The coral snake (featured on page 10) is identified by the common Boy Scout saying “Red and yellow, kill a fellow. Red and black, friend of Jack.” Thus, if the snake has red and yellow bands touching, it’s a Texas coral snake or eastern coral snake. The Arizona coral snake features a very pale yellow band, nearly white, that touches its yellow bands.

On the one hand, the person guiding this camera had to get dangerously close to a massive rattlesnake den. On the other hand, that’s not the smartest idea in the world…. and neither is dangling a hastily security camera into a pit of hostile […]
