Notes
This was a gorgeous little yearling - local school called me to come pick up a captured rattlesnake. Soon as I got him to my house and let him out on the lawn for a bit of sun he shed his skin … so, I named him 'el Guapo' - Relocated el Guapo to the den site.
The pic taken at den site … only moments before release.
