A Blacktailed Rattlesnake hiding out just outside its den. It took a few years to zero in on the exact spot, surveying the area in early spring and late fall and tracking where snakes were found in early egress. Eventually, there it was – with just two snakes in it to start, but the start of many more to come. The snake wasn’t disturbed, and due to the location, very likely may have never seen a human before.
