Just walking out of the house, heading to the State Fair(2 hour drive). I'll get some photos from the "Snakes Alive" exhibit and post them later tonight.

Oh hey! I saw the "snakes alive" exhibit when it was here in my county a few years back. They had a gigantic snapping turtle and even some gators. I know you'll enjoy it!

Sounds awesome. I wish I didn't live in the middle of freaking nowhere. Nothing cool like that comes around here.
Can't wait to see the photographs.

Rattlesnakes are my fave of the venomous variety. But that Great Basin one is amazing!!! I have not seen one of those before. What beautiful animals.

it's a year round job..... animal control officer for the county :cool: I am the resident reptile expert. unfortunately this summer I didn't see one gb rattler.... :( only had one call that was possibly a rattler, but was a gopher snake. but as far as snake calls go, I had 11 snake calls and found 8 snakes.....real good summer for snakes!! usually half the time the snakes are gone before I get there.
