Rattlesnake sex!


John Dvorak is always reminding us to carry our cameras with us. You just might be onhand for the First Contact - or a politician making sense.

Well, this time of year I take mine along with my walks with the dogs - because it’s just about time for our “regular” snakes to appear. One particular favorite is a gopher snake we call “Charlie”.

For a minute, yesterday, I thought I’d bumped into Charlie - except there were two snakes being really friendly - and they each had rattles at the south end. The male is about 7 feet long.

I didn’t intrude.
