Thumbs up Diamondback Removal.......couple pics

Well, this seemed like the most appropriate place to share this. Mods feel free to move it if I am wrong.

Got called out to remove a "Crotalus viridis" as the guy quoted, that is 5 ft long. He's been handling snakes for 10 years, and "knows it's a prairie"

Long story short, It is a crotalus atrox, (don't ya just love a snake "pro"?) and only 3 ft. But warm and VERY FAST, LOL.
Anyway, after a couple attempts at tail grabs, I decided to pin her instead. She was just to fast, and not quite long enough. Here's a couple pics.................





She was loosed way out in the desert in the Malpai Lave flow. She should do well out there. SHe had a lot of pink blush on her, but the cam would not show it very well.

Enjoy,
Rick

She looks unamused. I guess I wouldn't be happy if someone bigger than me kept pulling my tail & then pinned me either. Nice catch, glad everyone, snake included, made it out alright!

Unamused.

Yeah, she wasn't calm from the word go. I think the guy tried, but he said he didn't. She was kinda excited already when I arrived. LOL

Cioa,
Rick

Richard, I have seen your avatar on many of your posts, and i would like to ask you where you found it? It is great. One of the most amusing anyway. Also, nice capture and release. Good pics too.

A friend in the UK sent me that one and a couple other skelital GIFs. Not sure who made it though.
I like the way it walks. Reminded me of the old fat albert cartoons with Bill Cosby.
Couple more here...........Skeletons

Ciao,
Rick
