Great shot.

They're beauties. Those eyes. Love the scales.

Deadly.

So, do those snakes normally hang out there?

hard to choose one of these two. Did they just have a rattlesnake roundup, getting ready for one or just bring snakes in for the hell of it?

roundup? Also not only high boots but thick boots too I hope. This is the most odd photo I have seen of a snake's mouth but thinking I've not ever seen one at this moment. Very good catch and great photo. On your second set of two I love the first one's POV and the wonderful detail of the scales.

Still am.
You're able to bring some really well done and fascinating stuff. I like that in a photographer.
