A group of us from Madison, WI went on field herping trip today and I wanted to share some photos of a few of our finds.

A young Common Garter Snake


Another Garter Snake


My first ever hot in the wild. A Timber Rattlesnake.


A closeup shot of another Timber.


When all was said and done we found: 5 common garters, 1 eastern milk with pretty red blotches, a prairie ringneck snake and 7 timber rattlesnakes including a yearling. It was an awesome trip.
 
Wow! That Timber was a beauty. Hope you had a good zoom on that cam!
I kept a Western Diamondback and a Pacific years ago but after a few feedings let them go.
It just wasn't worth taking the chance of getting tagged, those guys are just too incredibly quick. Great photography, thanks for sharing.
 
Here's a few more Timber rattler shots from yesterday.

The first is a very young one. You can get a size perspective from the large cricket in the shot.


Next is a full body shot of one of the adults. Check out that rattle.


Finally another head shot.
 
Thanks. Here's a photo of the eastern milk and the ringneck that we found. Photo credits go to Sara Salamander.



 
nice rattlesnakes. right when it started warming up down here the diamondbacks flock to our water pumps for heat. unfortunately we have to kill most of them because they wont leave and they are a threat to the pump operators. very nice photos though!
