Several individuals, both adults and juveniles, observed at night in the aftermath of a National Moth Week event. Three individuals are depicted here.

Specimen captured by C.W. Painter, which I photo'd prior to its release.

I think the subspecies is C. f. testaceus.

Sadly... second road killed snake found in this area recently. About 5 feet long.

We only know of 2 other rattlesnake sightings here at the SMNHC. This one was found right next to our office building.

The snake had been shooed off the path shortly before, and took up a defensive stance under a tree

Found in St Johns FL near shallow river

Found this while walking the trials

Was very close to stepping on him. If I didn’t move my legs a couple of feet I wouldn’t have made it out of there.

M flagellum flagellum I presume

This snake was off my back porch this morning. I was alerted by the squirrel messing with it. Squirrels save lives!

My regular visitor dropped by again. I wish we could post video here.

Repeat visitor

Dead on road

This rattle snake was found laying across a service road basking in the sun at about 9am at Hall Ranch.
