It's gotta be some sort of record. She was really mad I pulled her out- I thought she was a timber at first with how much noise she was making. I couldn't get any other shots of her except for her playing dead.

Yeah, hope he got his shots ;)

That is a gorgeous Timber rattler. Good find! I have a deep love for Ringnecks, they always amaze me with how purty they are.

Props for catching the racerunner. How did you manage that? They're so quick!

It took six of us chasing it around and limiting the logs it could go under. The ones here, at least, tend to run directly from log to log rather than attempting long distance escapes or hiding elsewhere, so it got predictable.
It would, however, make them a nightmare to noose.

Oh man, you just sealed my weekend plans. SW Michigan is similar, minus the timbers. Goin' herpin' for the fourth!
My plan is for the 6th, central Wisconsin. Hoping for some smooth greens and northern prairie skinks.
Smooth and rough greens are on my bucket list. And our one singular lizard population :)
