Rattle Snakes at Breakfast
I had been here for over a week and still hadn’t seen any snakes. Don’t get me wrong but I didn’t really mind that fact (not a huge fan). They are really cool animals butI would rather not come in close contact with them.
So this little buddy was sitting outside our house aftere it rained all night. They come out after it rains to places where they normally don’t go. I made good use of my zoom as opposed to getting so close that it felt it needed to use its rattle, like some of the people I live with. I will be posting more pictures tomorrow I hope….

Hey Monica, I’ve had surprise visit by a rattlesnake when I was doing research in Mexico as well! Except for me, I was on a run and was one step from stepping on it. Terrifying. I didn’t know a Haverford student was doing ecology research at BMC! That is awesome. My trip to the desert 2 years ago was to do research on pollination ecology through BMC as well. Your pictures remind me of the trip. Good luck, and enjoy!
