Close encounters of the rattlesnake kind this morning at Jonathan Dickinson Park. Being all stretched out like that, the snake was probably warming himself on the sand. He wasn't in a hurry to move as I approached.

Did she rattle when you approached ? |

Did she rattle when you approached ? Took a screenshot from the video. Look how invisible the snake is when it gets into the brown grass on the side of the trail.

Cool, pretty scary but cool.

"I didn't see you in camouflage practice today"
" Awww, thank you"
That's really impressive.  |

A gopher tortoise going into his burrow. Rattlesnakes share these holes with the tortoises.

I think this is an Eastern Coachwhip snake. It really blends in well with the pine needles. Difficult to see in the long shot (and as I was walking by)

The majority of snakes are not poisonous.
I think there are 6 species of poisonous snakes in Florida. The main poisonous snakes we have in my area are the Eastern diamondback rattle snake, the water moccasin and the coral snake. |

That thing looks like it would give even an Australian pause. |

Saw a coral snake this morning. They are venomous but it's difficult for a human to get bit by one unless they are handling it. They usually run away as soon as they see you so they are hard to get a photo of.
