    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Photographing wildlife and mainly scenery has always been a hobby of mine. I have always been fascinated with rattlesnakes, but almost NEVER see them. When I do, I don't have my camera.

Anyways, my question is how do I find them? I want to go out on the weekend and seek them out for photographing, but where do I start? I can't find very specific habitat descriptions online, or in books. I live in Prescott, and the temperature changes radically so is there an optimal temperature range when I want to go look for them? Do I look in bushes, under rocks, under trees, near water, or just anywhere? Basically, if you wanted to go out and find a rattlesnake where would you look?

On a side note, I know how dangerous they are and I do not intend on perturbing them in any way. I just want to take pictures from a safe distance.
