So Saturday evening I went for a walk with my fiancee and his kids... There is a wildlife conservation place right outside our home pretty much. We ran across a combination of 8 garter snakes & what i believe to be bull snakes?

They were all hanging on the pathway and the birds were attacking them (most were babies) so I moved them into the grass.

Then we literally tripped over a western diamondback rattlesnake.. HOLY COW I almost pooped my pants.

It was definitely a pretty large adult. It's rattle was huge and it was pretty large itself. Thank goodness he didn't strike since we literally did trip on it. He/she coiled up and hissed rather fiercely, and rattled like mad. Cool lookin snake, we're really lucky he didn't show us his cool tricks LOL.
