Met the Gadsden Rattlesnake Today

I met the Gadsden rattlesnake today. About eight feet in front of me, there it was – a large yellow rattlesnake. It was approximately 3 feet long. As it slid into the clover, I approached closer noting its triangular head. rattler and its unusual yellow tan underlying color beneath its markings. I’m always careful to watch my footfalls here, don’t want to tread on any snake, particularly not the Gadsden.
