Must be a tame or defanged rattler that allows you to stick a camera in his eye and not strike you

Or a giant 500mm lense....

Still sleepy and cold, they will get going with a few more warm days.

He was cold.   I was trying to get some other shots of him but the cat got involved.    She is hell on snakes.   Then he got fired up and the kids got involved.  They were scared to death for their kitty.  Cat was just having fun.

Different one, same morning.   These are at my house.

The cat having fun....

Is a cat fast enough to be able to avoid a strike.

[boneaddict]

The snake deciding enough was enough....    she seemed to be buckhorn.   The snake would strike, shed weave and then pin his head down, or box him in the ears.    I would have liked to have watched it a bit longer but the kids interfered.   I have seen her carrying dead snakes back for her kittens, so I know she likes them.

before he was pissed off....


Hows that taste....

Great pictures.  Looks like the cat was having too much fun.

The 1st pic was a bit decieving...you had me wondering...

 

[boneaddict]

size or species?

Size. I knew what it was, and saw the other pics on FB but didn't expect it to be the same one.

I ran into a real good one (about 6 foot), the day I was after rattlers.    He had been laying in 80 degree rocks though so he wasn't too photogenic.   Plus its a little more complicated getting on eye level with them.   If someone would have seen me the other day theyd have thought I was nuts.   I was hovering over about 30 rattlers trying to get a good headshot of another.

There are medications for that you know 

Bone, what kind is that snake in the eye picture?

Bull snake.

Love bullsnakes.  They will eat anything they can wrestle down.  Nice pics.
