Did ya pet him? ;D In the 27 years that I've been in Virginia, I've never seen a single rattlesnake. We have a ton of blacksnakes, black rat snakes and garter snakes, and I also caught a green snake once. I always hear people talk about the copperheads and rattlers, but I haven't seen one yet! (not that I want to) lol

Wow! beautiful snake! Looks like he might've just shed his skin. Very complex and very well defined markings on that beauty!.....Mel

We have lots of rattlers here in PA, especially the more rural hilly areas. I've only come across a couple of those but never wanted to get that close. I see copperheads often while fishing, I steer clear of those too.

That snake is so well camoflaged that it took a second to see it in the first pic. Good thing it gave you a warning with the rattle. That pinkish looking rock in the last pic looks interesting enough to pick up if the snake wasn't so close. lol

That's a whole different pattern than we have here. But, in the #2 pic, it's amazing how well he would have blended a foot or so down in the grass and mud! Very cool pix, thanks!
