Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. The snake with the most Snake Bite related Deaths in North America.

I Captured her nearer the city, and transported her to a safer location. Safer for her, as well as other city inhabitants. Just before letting her go, I wanted to get some pictures while she's all coiled up in my Camera box.
(THIS IS NOT SUGGESTED)

A moment before this photo, her head rested on her body, and she was fairly comfortable with my presence. Pulling in as close as I could, The working room on this lens arrangement is 4 inches. Our faces are now less than a foot apart. And I'm well within the strike range of this 3 foot snake. As she becomes a bit more concerned, she lifts her head and starts shaking that rattle, like a maraca.
