Personal funny reptile moments

[Bogertophis]

Oh, Bogertrophis I had just remembered a story from when I had a vacation in Florida years ago. My mother and I were taking a walk through a palmetto forest trail and there was a big sign on the path with some information on the wildlife that lived there. Included on it was stuff about pygmy rattlesnakes.

And quite literally right below the sign was a pygmy rattler as if the little one was presenting itself.

The giggles aside though it was neat to see a rattlesnake in the wild up close. Here in Ohio rattlers are very rare.

That was GREAT luck! I enjoy rattlesnakes, I used to rescue & relocate them (also kept some & did programs with them) when I lived in the desert southwest. Glad you got to meet one.

Very funny coincidence, & he was probably sticking his tongue out too. Unfortunately, even the signs & rules don't stop some people from killing or harassing them in parks.
