That is Amazing ! I have been Herping in So. Cal. For many years
and have seen some cool history with herps such as the same snakes found year after year. I remember finding my fist Rosy from a particular location I knew looked liked perfect Rosy Habitat 4 years later I found one.
I believe your story.. Cool deal ...
Maybe I'll run into some night out there...
Good luck,
Tony

Congratulations Jason! I think that was the week I had too much going on to go with you, just my luck. You have always said time spent searching pays off.

for me here either.
I can see the boxes on the bottom of the first page. They are empty with a white X. I click on the pic and it takes me to the second page and it has only one empty box but nothing happens when I click on it.

In a study of Bogertophis subocularis thermal biology conducted in west Texas, the snakes were released in localities foreign to the snakes. Several of these snakes apparently ended up being food for predatory birds.
If released far away from the capture site, the rattler may become food for local birds, badgers, or the common kingsnake. That is a "solution" that may be better than euthanization or preserving the animal in a glass jar in a university museum, especially for the more common species of rattlers, of which there is probably a good representative sample of preserved specimens.
