Male Rock Rattlesnake stuffed in a rock crevice. This awesome rescue story was shared by #SnakeHero @RebelHawk12 on Twitter. Thank you for saving this Gophersnake! Snakes Are Everything is BACK with Snakes Are Misunderstood! ♥️🐍 PSA/SSA: If your #LaborDay plans include driving, please do so carefully as snakes are on the move in most of the US right now. Babies are starting to appear and are REALLY hard to see if you're not watching carefully. Did you #FindTheSnake? Can you #FindTheSnake? We'll post the answer tomorrow ♥️🐍 Last night's hike around the neighborhood yielded not one, but TWO Western Black-tailed Rattlesnakes! A young male courting a large, old female (probably in her teens). We snapped a few pics and left them to it (swipe for photos). The Black-necked Gartersnakes around here are GORGEOUS. Yet another snake whose beauty is underappreciated. Also, look at that sweet face! Three years ago today, our backyard Rock Rattlesnake drama concludes. Daryl peeks into our basement to make sure we're not hiding Carol inside (spoiler: we're not), before finally, FINALLY, finding her near a log down the hill. Three years ago today, our backyard Rock Rattlesnake drama continued. Carol keeps hunting and Daryl keeps searching... Three years ago today, our backyard Rock Rattlesnake drama continued. While Daryl continued searching for Carol, she managed to snag an Ornate Tree Lizard for lunch. Three years ago today, our backyard Rock Rattlesnake drama continued. Daryl was hot on Carol's trail, while she continued hunting nearby. Three years ago today, we were blessed by one of the most exciting and interesting wildlife observations in recent memory -– and it happened right outside our door! We did our best to film and photo document what we saw; our way of getting you by our side, virtually, for this snakey soap opera. Was genuinely excited to see this gorgeous Black-necked Gartersnake crossing our driveway. Hard to tell in this pic, but the orange on his neck was SO BRIGHT AND ORANGE! Brightened up our day ♥️🐍😁 Enjoying the #PitviperBeautyPageant on Twitter? (If you haven't seen this, be sure to check it out!) The new episode of #SnakesAreEverything, Snakes Are Dangerous! is posted here @SnakesAreEverything. Learn about the 75 million-year long deadly dialog between snakes and primates from THE Dr. Harry Greene. Rattlesnake fights are rarely lethal, but always beautiful. Rattlesnakes take care of their kids. Sometimes their friends’ kids too. Some snakes are social. Celebrate World Snake Day! Soo excited to see this neighbor yesterday (and she's still hanging out!). We're truly blessed to have Rock Rattlesnakes for neighbors. This little one has been hunting in this crevice, so we haven't been able to confirm, but seems like she could be the same one who visited us for several weeks last year (just a few feet from where we found this one yesterday). Shop for Snakes! Special edition of Snakes Are Everything for World Snake Day: Snakes Are Dangerous! One of our board members, Gordon Burghardt, has a new book: The Secret Social and Emotional Lives of Reptiles. We just got our copy and are SO EXCITED to dig in! The new episode of #SnakesAreEverything, Snakes Are Charismatic! is posted here @SnakesAreEverything and on our YouTube and Facebook channels. Check it out to see how you can participate in some really cool rattlesnake research with @RattleCams! Juvenile Arizona Black Rattlesnake, photographed by Jeff Smith. Arizona Blacks darken with age, though many will never be fully black. New #SnakesAreEverything TOMORROW! Tune in to find out how YOU can get involved in snake research with Project RattleCam. We just love the curious way this Gophersnake is looking outside from his shelter. 🐍💜 Photographed by Jeff Smith. Snakes Are Everything is BACK with Snakes Are Charismatic! ♥️🐍 After a long, and likely exhausting, digging bout, this sweet Eastern Patch-nosed Snake was THIRSTY! When she was unable to get water from our sometimes-leaky cistern, we offered her the hose, and she immediately drank. Tough times in the southwest US for wildlife: drought (two dry rainy seasons in a row) and heat wave. Swipe to see the video.
