Megan Martin
WOW! I hope you didn’t get too close! Great capture!
down23 replied
Thanks Megan! I could have leaned in & given him a big kiss if I had that kind of urge but luckily I did not! lol Yuck! No but seriously, I’m a big old sissy la la this guy was stuffed & on exhibit otherwise I’d have been too busy running & screaming like a little girl to get any kind of shot! LOL

I must admit i thought this was real. Great capture anyways

It’s real it’s just not alive anymore. He’s been to the Taxidermy. They did an amazing job that’s for sure. I jumped a little when I first saw him on exhibit that’s how real he actually does look. Thanks! =)
Justine Devereux
Cool capture!! you should’ve pretended it was real… we’d have thought you were really brave!! lol
down23 replied
Yeah I thought about it for a minute but I knew that would definitely bite me in the ass! I’m tryin’ to quit! ha ha ha Besides I’d scream so loud that you’d probably hear me all the way over there! LOL

Oooh Wow! I love Rattlesnakes! :) They are beautiful, and so amazing! I’ve held a dead one, they feel funny under your hand. :) They are sweet, because they try to warn you, and most of the time try not to harm you. :) :)
down23 replied
Yes that’s true but I’m not sure that qualifies as sweet though! LOL I’m glad you like it Cheyenne! I must admit that I liked this one but for obvious reasons ~ I don’t much care for the live ones though. That’s awful, huh?
Cheyenne
No, different people, different perspectives. We have many Rattlers out here, This stuffed snake looks cool :)
Megan Martin
WOW! I totally thought it was real! Good work! =)

Yes my response was supposed to get a chuckle but I really do love snakes, they are amazing creatures that basically survive with one long muscle, a mouth and colors. And they have been here longer than man. They make for wonderful photos also. Well done.

I agree with you, they are amazing. I prefer to keep my distance just as I’m sure they prefer that as well! This was a part of a huge Arizona wildlife display inside a Cabella’s store. I do appreciate your comments & opinions & I thank you for sharing them with me. =)
