I'm often asked why I like snakes, and other herps. And there are many answers to give to that question. One I've used is, I've gotta respect an animal that is cold blooded and can survive the rough weather here in Montana.
Again, another photo of a hillside today at three degrees, where we found milk, bulls, racers and rattle snakes on warmer days.

Pale milk from the above hillside this spring.

Hognose from close to the same hillside.

A few more serpents from warmer days.
Pale milk from Stillwater County.

Bullsnake from Carbon County. I'll bet she wishes she had that warm tin now.

A nice buzztail enjoying the warmth of a sun-drenched day.

A racer trying to look a lot like a rubber boa, at least in color.

Rubber boa, that came up under a rock to absorb some radiant heat from the sun.


Bundle up ya all. And enjoy your holidays. -Dell
