Notes
This was and absolutely stunning female - she must've just recently shed her skin was like velvet - so pretty.
Local school called me … they caught a rattlesnake, described as short, but FAT! - Caught her at the baseball Field … so I named her 'Diamond' - Relocated Diamond to the remote den site.
The pic was taken on my lawn when I got her home for the night. When I took her to the den, she just wanted to get under a rock, was a real handful … so as NOT to stress her any more (maybe gravid) I immediately turned her loose. really HOPE to see her again one day.
