The temps were high and we've been seeing some snakes at some dens with some regularity. You can see what I've found in the past here: http://www.fieldherpforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2933 I went to check on the two atrox that have been out and only found these:
Both these snakes had meals in them so it only makes sense that this would be their dung. I went to check on another den and passed another site that I haven't seen anything at for a while. I was just going to head to another den and decided I should check on this one just in case. I climbed up and saw this:
Prairie Rattlesnake
It had been a month since I'd seen activity at this area, so I was pretty excited. It coiled up like in the second picture and was flicking its tongue all over. I sat and watched it and then it slowly retreated into a nearby hole. It was very aware of my presence. I searched around the area because I have encountered multiple snakes at this site together. I did not find another snake, but did find another pile of poo. No picture of this one it was deep inside a crack and the picture didn't turn out. I think the season is finally over :( Can't wait until spring :D
