So are there any Herpetologists out there who can ID our infamous guest. You will find him in the slide show. We came across him hiking in a local State Park. We have always kept our eyes out for them but this was the first time we came face-to-face only 3 feet away. It was a very beautiful creature but I will let you have a look. I will post more on our encounter tomorrow but for now leave a comment if you think you know what this creature is and your reaction if you came across it hiking with your family.
*** The slide show is sort of grainy because of the transfer from iPhoto to Quick Time. Sorry about that. I hope you can still get a good glimpse of our friend.

Oh good lord, is it a rattlesnake?!! What would I do? Run for my life.
Those are beautiful pictures, but OH MY WORD...that snake looked huge!!! I'm not so sure I would've stuck around to take pictures....I would be high tailing it back outta there!
It was hard to see, but what I did see looked like diamonds on his back and a rattle-tail, aka, The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake or the scientific name Crotalus adamanteus. Yikes!!!!
I think I would have peed myself.
Wow, that snake was huge!
