Holding a gopher snake that an instructor grabbed from a hole
Close-up on the gopher snake an hour later... it was catching some rays.... check out the tongue!
Holding a Racer... they sometimes den with garter snakes and rattlers in dens (on the sides of STEEP hillsides) to maintain heat during cold winter months. This one was sunning itself next to the den we visited and it smelled funny after it peed in defense.
Northern Pacific Rattlesnake tail reverberating in my hand! What an awesome experience and a unique feeling and sound. This rattler was 4 feet long and rather timid/ friendly once we got it into the tube. The instructors coerced it into a plastic tube that would ensure we wouldn't get bit.
Said rattlesnake in the tube! I have other pictures, but this one says it pretty good...
