I'm excited to see that; we have both in NE Oregon too. I have special tongs for humanely removing rattlers from my garden. <br /><br />Love the photo of the baby rattler.Lizhttp://www.blog.elizabethenslin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409949.post-18355157223619837282009-12-19T09:44:18.128-07:002009-12-19T09:44:18.128-07:00My hubby wasn't happy at the harmless snake I ...My hubby wasn't happy at the harmless snake I found in the yard.

I found you when I searched snake images on Google - just wanted to make sure that thing I saw this morning really WAS a bullsnake. Well, I'm up to about 97% sure and that will have to do! Thanks for the link to the Colorado ID pages, too. <br /><br />I stared at my little visitor sleeping in the shade from a few feet away, but unfortunately wasn't wearing my glasses! Came back with them and a pair of binoculars, but he was gone.<br /><br />Kris<br />Springvalley Farm<br />http://pingalley.blogspot.comKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13749886336720619824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409949.post-58381561930155305492009-05-27T10:06:59.482-06:002009-05-27T10:06:59.482-06:00Tell me about it!

What are people thinking?<br /><br />Guess that's why most of us get to see more dead snakes than live ones.

I'm fascinated by snakes and your post has motivated me to get on the ball and start better IDing them.<br /><br />BTW, I read a few years back (can't remember where) about an experiment where they placed fake snakes on a road, and watched what drivers did when they approached them. More drivers tried to HIT the snakes than avoid them!Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248341788957416471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409949.post-36550780978887453482009-05-26T10:53:54.044-06:002009-05-26T10:53:54.044-06:00Gee, Dave, I'm sorry you're "missing ...Gee, Dave, I'm sorry you're "missing out"... you must have garters, at least.

That Bull Snake was simply beautiful -- and it's fascinating how they'll imitate a rattle.<br /><br />We really enjoyed this post -- what a great encounter! =)Kenton and Rebeccahttp://www.wildaboutnatureblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409949.post-73768228138859940722009-05-25T11:10:17.965-06:002009-05-25T11:10:17.965-06:00Hmm....we're not really in snake country in this p...Hmm....we're not really in snake country in this part of the state.
