Notes
This snake was found at a new den very close to another rattlesnake den we had found earlier in the year. We had checked the area several times and suspected a den, but this was the first time we were able to voucher a snake there.
The second photo was taken on a different day (7-8-11) after we had cleared the cob web that obscured the snake in the first picture.
The third and fourth photos were taken on yet another day (7-28-11). Finally got some decent pictures.
