I am not as sure about the snakes. I am out in the scrub park near the
house quite a bit and I have never seen a rattlesnake. There are plenty
of black snakes and a few coachwhips there. This may be why

Great shots. *That rattler seemed as long as the racer. *I wonder if they
ever kill something that won't fit? *After that meal, I'm surprised he
could move.
I took a stingray barb in the foot once on the beach on Sanibel but it
wasn't a bad shot. He poked up the barb to say "I'm sleeping here" and I
was walking carefully so it only went in about 1/2" I picked open the
wound with a fruit pick from the barmaid at the Hilton (now the Sanibel
Inn) beach bar and flushed it out with vodka.
That's the way John Wayne would have done it. *;-)
Great pics.
