Greencoachdog Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Very cool pics Raf! A snake has to be one tough bugger to live in the GWN!... and killing one out in the wild is ignorant. They're the best friend you never knew you had. Too bad they don't eat skeeters!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbog Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 A French River Rattler perhaps? You don't have to go that far to see them. Lots around just to shy to be seen by most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Very cool pic Raf. I've never seen one up close and personal, and I'd like to keep it that way. Nothing against snakes, I love them, but rattlers don't appeal to me Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Runner Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 A rare sighting Raf, thanks for sharing it with us. In my years of stompping around the Massassauga PP, Moon River, etc. only ever encountered one suninn itself on a rock. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
