Hidden Rattlesnakes
Hidden Rattlesnakes – we went hiking and I just about stepped on this little snake hidden so well amongst the rocks. Amazing how nature works.
The red circle on the right is the head and the left is the rattler.

Great shot
Hello Mr. Ohh, thank you, hope you are having a wonderful weekend. 😊
Looking at your pictures makes it so 😂😎🤣
I feel sour.
Wow – talk about blending in! That’s amazing Sandra!
Thank you Linda 🙂
Thats so scary
Yikes! Snakes…
Beautiful scenery!
😊 thank you Nancy
Good thing that dude was napping. This is a great illustration of “the sudden shock of awareness.” Your post is also a great lesson of suddenly seeing things hidden in plain sight, if you get my drift…
The Lord was watching over you
Yes He was, it was the first time I have ever seen one as well.
Thanks Sandra. Most of the time we get a warning. Good thing you didn’t pick up a snake to kill a stick.
That is the most clever line I have heard today. That is a good one RJ. 😊 it blended in so well, I did get very close trying to figure out why the rocks looked like they were in a circle and then it moved.
Dangerous… but so beautiful…
Thanks Sandra.
Have a great evening.
Thank you very much Francine 😊
What a beautiful creature – I love snakes but have a healthy respect for them.
Yes, that is so nice, we must respect wildlife in all its forms. Even spiders for me. 🙂
Even moths for me – eek!
Wow
Thank you 🙂
Okay, wherever this is, I ain’t going. 😬
Yes, they are like little traps set all over the desert.😳
Encounter with the thrill!
Yes it is, 😳😊
Wow, glad it didn’t bite you!
Yes, I was standing right next to it when I noticed it.
It looks like a Sidewinder. They really blend in.
It surprised me for sure.
Wow, hidden indeed. I’m impressed you spotted it at all!
I know, I had stopped for a moment to get some water and wasn’t sure what I was looking at first. 😊
Oh wow! It doesn’t seem little to me 🐍 😅
It was just a little bigger than my hand. I did not have anything to compare it with. 😊
This is so creepy. God knows I would have fallen off those rocks if I stepped on that🤦♀️
Yes, it blended in so well, I almost stepped on it.
Geez, 😂 Thank goodness you didn’t sandy
I would be afraid to venture into this region. I don’t like snakes.
Yes, they recommend waring tall boots if hiking because of the rattlesnakes.
It has such a small rattle!!
Are you aware the smol ones are more dangerous because they haven’t learned to conttol their venom?
I had not heard that. I wasn’t even sure this one was alive, so touched it with a long stick and it moved and then I moved .
I had a job here in SoCal with signs posted near the entrance: “BEWARE OF RATTLESNAKES”.
I loved telling my agency, located in Boston, about that.
That would be nerve racking having to watch for them. Meaning there must have been lots of them.
There were only 2 in the 2yrs that I worked there, one VERY large. We sometimes had coyotes in the parking lot and I frequently saw dead tarantulas in the outdoor pest traps (pharma,mfg so we had massive amounts of pest control).
A former blogger in AZ would talk about her cat catching scorpions in the house!
Wow, spiders freak me out more than snakes. 😬
Something about tarantulas makes them not so scary to me… dunno if its fascination or the fact that they’re so big.
The camouflage rattlesnakes hide them so well!
Yes, I am surprised I saw it. 😊
