Slap tracked this beautimus fella down for nearly 2 hours...following his candy cane like prints in the sand that told the story of his battles with the Desert Iguanas, searching the night for the heat he must find...

He had no clue Slap was this close to him, he was pooped out...Ain't he a photogenic one??? Slap sure thinks so.



Sidewinder Rattlesnake

When the weather begins to heat up, Sidewinder Rattlesnakes, or “Horned Rattlesnakes”, become quite active. They travel over sand using a unique “S” shaped style of motion, and can be found throughout the Algodones Sand Dunes system. They are very poisonous and should not be handled. Sidewinders prey on Kangaroo rats, lizards, and mice. (Notice the horned projections over the eyes).

Oh and I thought you were talking about a different SideWinder.

Very photogenic indeed........A lot of work, with great results...

I SUUUURE DO LIKE THE SNAKES!!!! I THINK THEY ARE REALLY COOL FOR SOME REASON, BUT THE FIRST ONE I FOUND WITHOUT KNOWING IT SCARED THE HELL OUTA ME!!!!
