Herped a local park today called "Garden of the Gods" known for snakes..

Ran across this one and another which I relocated to a safer part of the park:


Took it back to the parking lot of the park to grab the camera and took the chance to educate some of the local bikers/hikers/tourists about summer + rattlers.
I encourage the rest of you to take the chances when they appear to shed some light on snakes and whatnot, it's a great feeling and the public really enjoyed it today (except 1 terrified lady who abandoned her fascinated family in fear).
