Don't tread on me...

I ran across (no, not literally) this guy today as I was returning with ice to the campground.

He was so small and cute, hard to believe he's one of the deadliest snakes in North America, the Mojave rattlesnake.

Sorry for the below average pic - I took it with my cell phone camera and wasn't about to get out of the car.

See those four squares in our logo? We call it the cursor, and like an old-school command prompt, it means we're awaiting input. current.tv

They are so cute when they are that size and more deadly because the venom is more potent. Glad that you stayed in the car, most smaller snakes don't have the experience to avoid confrontation with larger mammals.
