Great shot!!! This one is just so full of color and tones. It's really beautiful.

You must have a lot of patience in order to get out there and catch all these guys! Very well done, and thanks for the picture thread!

Thanks. I always love how they look when lit only by headlights, so I decided to try to see if I could capture that. Fortunately, the viperids are willing to be completely motionless for long exposures.

Nah, it doesn't take much patience. Sometimes to look for them, yes. But not to jump out and and get them when they're right in front of you! Some of the flightier rattlers do test my patience and I don't have enough to bother to manipulate them for a nice picture. Also true for some of the non-venomous snakes. They just don't want to stay put and I don't have the patience to try to get them to. But these winders were pretty cooperative about staying put.
 
Great shots!
But...
Warn me next time you post a pic of a Potato Bug. Those things are absolutely horrifying. And just a warning... it might have eaten your soul while you photographed it.
 
I have a friend that kept and actually bred shovel nose' .. Of course he had the California Fishing Lic. for road cruising and the correct paper work for propagation of a native species.. He works for Animal Planet working with Sean Bush and others..

Interesting. We don't have to have paperwork for propagation of native species. But we aren't allowed to sell either legally collected or the offspring of legally collected animals. We have to give them away to stay under the possession limit, which is kind of dumb.
