Snabby

Tucson, AZ

Well, I guess we officially have a "pet" Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake since my daughters have now named this one: Snabby.
This is a shot from late this afternoon as it took up a position near a fountain on the west side yard.

Canon EOS 7D ,Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM ,1.4x TCII
tripod, self timer full exif

Wow, beautiful capture Sam! Beautiful snake but I would not sleep well until I know that pet is gone for good. v

I don't like your choice of pets! Very nice image,Sam.

I'm glad to see that you haven't destroyed Snabby, like many people would, Sam. I sure hope your daughters have a "healthy" respect for their new pet and watch where they step!

Snabby is pretty cool but a bit scary to have in the yard. Did you say that you have dogs? If so, how do you keep them out of trouble??
