[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 153179, member: 6548"] I saw two today...both garter types one light tan with brown stripes about two feet long the other light green about three feet long. I live in a rural area it has been wet and cold until very recently they are sunning now and getting ready to breed and today it was very warm and their populations are great this year (plus we haven't mowed the pasture yet). If there is one sort of unique cool subject that I could do it would be the snakes because this year there are millions around here but man they are quick. Maybe I will try breeding season is upon us. The best ones would be the big fat moccasins sitting on a tree but those snakes are hot you'd need a long focal length. Some of them are beautifully colored and patterned. Out there in Cali you guys have rattlers from what I understand...we have them here too but one doesn't see them very often unless you know where to look. The moccasin is a relative of the copperhead and the only snake to have bands on it's belly...pit vipers...mean and nasty when backed into a corner or stepped on but otherwise real flighty. [/QUOTE]
