I love #snakes.
Project RattleCam is a livestream of #rattlesnakes. You can see them live their life, have babies, do cuddle puddles and drink water. They are very cute. You can even name a snake!

So far there's 2 cameras, one in California (Western Rattlesnakes) and one in Colorado (Prairie Rattlesnakes).
And they want to add another one in Pennsylvania (Timber Rattlesnakes) in 2026!

You can help fund this new camera here:

Anybody in #herps know something about #rattlesnakes? I’m unfamiliar with this particular pattern. It was a larger snake, and appeared to have lost most of its rattle. #herpetology

Red diamond rattlesnake (Crotalus ruber), Lakeview Mountains, southern California. Yesterday, right next to the trail. This is why we don't look at our phones while hiking!

I have lost track of the number of #rattlesnakes I have seen this year. It’s getting weird.
