a BEAST of an eastern diamondback (crotalus adamanteus)

michelle spotted this snake on the crawl spread out in the open about 15 feet away from her burrow. she stayed spread out for about 5 minutes as michelle and i screamed and celebrated our first and only snake all day after 8 miles; many burrows and 8 hours of hiking around surveying for indigos. my first EDB since april of 2021, a new county, and first one ever hiked….

if i had to guess she was 4.5 feet and about 8lbs, an absolutely incredible animal. my favorite rattlesnake, and the BEST one!!! i can’t thank michelle enough for allowing me to help survey and see such an impressive animal….i hope i’m able to see them a bit more frequently from here on out.

the second eastern coral snake (micrurus fulvius) that cruised in candy land, a much bigger male this time.

these are a favorite species of mine; i think getting a tener and eventually micruroides would be a real treat. however i will always have a special fancy for eastern corals.

western milk snake (lampropeltis gentilis) the last h**p of the trip, and a banger at that, and i were at the last board with kenzie and it was almost dark when we flipped this snake. it was awesome, i said milk right before we lifted it and sure enough right at the buzzer was this perfect ass milk. couldn’t have asked for a better lifer!!!

twin spotted rattlesnake (crotalus pricei) this was the highlight of the AZ for and i, one of the coolest experiences i’ve had while h**ping. totally worth everything that was put into that trip🤘🏽

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus Atrox) as common as they were in NM and AZ, i was stoked with this really good looking adult atrox. she was perfect to me, and i’m happy she was the one i decided to get some camera photos of.

one of my personal favorite finds from my trip to AZ, was this female hatchling desert kingsnake!! such a perfect animal, steve and i screamed and danced in circles when we found her. and then 50 feet further we cruised another female hatchling desert king!! one for the memories for sure!

one of the coolest finds from the whole trip was this banded rock rattlesnake!!! i couldn’t believe it when Steven Klioze] yelled over to me that he got something “cool and that i need to run” so while trying to not slip and eat s**t on a rock slide i get over and sure enough behind a rock buzzing away was this awesome female!!! this snake is all in thanks due to and Steven Klioze] for being the coolest and most awesome friends i could ask for…. i didn’t think it could get better than this.

my lifer mojave rattlesnake, we saw 3 on the first night in AZ, another live one then a dor…. a fairly common species but they sure are fu**in cool!! with a super toxic venom, yet not a large size snake by any means… i was so fascinated to finally see a wild specimen… i wish this shot was a little more clear by the face but the tongue flick was everything to me.

zebra spitting cobra (naja nigricincta) a really intuitive and enjoyable species to work with here at Medtoxin Venom Labs/ . it’s been a real pleasure to watch how much these snakes have grown in the last year or so!

eastern coral snake (micrurus fulvius) along with a dusky pygmy rattlesnake (sistrurus miliarius barbouri)

I had a whole ass story to go with this photo but Instagram decided to not upload it; of course I didn’t copy and paste it. so no story just a dope ass eastern coral snake found by the one and only alongside the homie .vc been a brutal year, this snake really helped my down spirits.

aw man, what a night this was! kenzie and i met up with a longtime friend .vc to do a little local hike. i say little when it was like 4.5 miles lol. nonetheless we set out just to see anything, i had told nik how this spot has given me some amazing memories over the years. with days that have treated me extremely well, multiple double digit snake days, 5+ pygmy days with .taylor27 and at one point a double coral with it’s a nice spot. i was hoping to see a coral of course bc it’s been over a year since one was spotted here. but i was happy with even a pyg. we got a pyg maybe 1.5 almost 2 miles in, nothing else though. group of hogs, 3 armadillo, too many ticks and mosquitos… i say how it looks like this will end as a one pygmy night and proceed to tell kenz i want her to find us a coral before we leave….. well, she sure as hell did that, not even 5 minutes after i say that; kenz is maybe 100 feet ahead of me and yells “CORAL SNAKE”. it took me a minute to register what happened and i run to her and see this AWESOME eastern coral snake making its way thru a broken and fallen log towards the king grass and oak leaves. luckily it was long enough and visible to get ahold of it. couldn’t have asked for a better night, this years been really rough h**ping wise and has been quite disheartening at times. all of those feelings were thrown away thanks to kenz landing this beauty.
