DiamondBack Rattlesnake/ Connecticut


I walked upon this guy near Salisbury, Conn. He was in the middle of the trail and he did not rattle or hiss, so I almost stepped on him. I sat my pack down and took a water break hoping he would move out of the way. Well, that didn't happen...... he just kept coming closer and closer while searching the plants for bugs to eat. After about 20 minutes I gave up and hiked down a steep hill and back up the steep hill to bypass my new friend.

He was about 3 feet long and as big around as my forearm.
