Nice. Looks like he may have shed not long ago. Looks nice and brite markings.

Beautiful animal but scary powerful venom as well.  Really efficient rodent killer.  Where did you take this picture?  I've never seen one but rumor is pinelands have quite a few of these.

  Nice capture!   Looks like a fat one.  They give me the willies, but I'm always looking to get a pic of one.  Only one I saw was in a bush next to a rock I sat on.  It rattled when I got up, or I never would have seen it.   Of course I didn't have the camera that day,.

Great picture Little M.

Plant quiz, who can identify the 4 plants in the picture?  

 

Hint:

 

There are 2 vines, 1 shrub, and 1 tree.

LittleM is a brave man! Those things scare me. We have them near us. Evesham twp put up signs in a new housing development that there specific areas of snake crossings. I guess some snakes can read?

Definitely some poison ivy and virginia creeper.  I don't know about the others.  That virginia creeper gave me a nasty rash last year.  I also see Sassafras.

Snakes are great they are so important. They kill so many rodents and a lot people don't think about this but they kill thousands and thousands of ticks eating the rodents carrying the ticks.

Picked a tick off me last night that was slightly larger than a hydrogen atom.  Little black sucker.  I hate those things.

Ticks are so bad and a lot more dangerous then a rattlesnake.
