While walking through the dessert I came across another snake. Once my heart stopped beating so hard after I made sure it wasn't a rattle snake I was able to enjoy my experience a little more. This guy was about 5' long and pretty fat, he had been eating well.
So what do you do when you come across a snake like this that you are pretty sure isn't poisonous? You try to pick it up of course. Well I started by picking up his tail and that went ok. He started shaking it like a rattler and that's when I realized that he wasn't poisonous. I started picking up his tail and slowly working up his body but I must have his a sore spot because he didn't like that at all. He coiled up just like a rattler and got in to a position to strike. (I didn't get a good picture of that.)
Anyway, after he did that I decided to leave him alone. Enjoy the pictures from my encounter.
