Hello Laurie! Thanks for reaching out. After reviewing the images in this post, we decided to replace several of them with public domain photos from the National Park Service. You can find numerous copyright-free images of rattlesnakes on this NPS resource website: https://npgallery.nps.gov/. I hope this helps!

040323 Dear Bram — We are writing to request permission to use the photo of a coiled rattlesnake on your page above the Recognizing a Rattlesnake headline to help to illustrate the article about Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Trail Crews on our totally non-commercial, non-profit, all-volunteer, public-interest website, http://www.tularecountytreasures.org. Our mission is to celebrate, educate, and inspire by sharing the stories of the wonderfully diverse places in our county that have been conserved, and of the dedicated people who have worked to protect and steward them. If we may use this photo, please let us know how the credit should read. Thank you for your prompt response, and for your informative and well-illustrated website.

In reply to Ann Hagen. Nothing wrong with enjoying some time in a cozy lodge! I'm all for it.

After reading about mountain lions, bears, and venomous snAkes, I am happy to stay in the lodge and knit!

In reply to adrian. I'm so sorry to hear that, Adrian. Sometimes encounters are so unfortunate that neither the person or the snake has time to respond, send a warning or get away.

my dad was killed by a diamondback rattlesnake last year. it never rattled it’s tail. he has been working out on our property in the TX hill country for decades and has a plenty of experience being in areas where rattlesnakes are present. not all rattlesnakes will warn before they strike.
