[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2757239, member: 124360"] Once I finally saw it, I realize the pic had been been photoshopped. They modified the colors a little and took out the shadows on the snake. That's why you cant make out the outline. Look close- there's shadows from the leaves on the ground but no snake profile shadow. I'm pretty good a spotting wildlife and especially snakes- used to hunt the rattlers when I was a teen in high school and sell the stuff I made with them. I knew of a few dens down on the river where it cut through the volcanic basalt- there would be shallow caves eroded into the rock and you could walk in several feet. Certain times of day/ time of year there were snakes everywhere you looked. Easy pickins. I had a conduit tube with a cable run through it with handle attached . Pop the neck and set em outside to pick up later. Later in the spring the snakes would venture outside the cave and sun themselves on the dark brown rocks before heading out, so you had to really pay attention when approaching that area as they could be anywhere. People used to think I was crazy. One time I went to the gas station with the pickup bed full of dead snakes and a guy waked by, casually looked in the bed. Never fails, one of the dead ones is still moving just at the right time for someone to see it. Needless to say, he about jumped out of his skin😆 Those prairie rattlers snakes aren't very aggressive and will only strike if provoked or stepped on. [/QUOTE]
