Noctambule

J'aime la nuit .Le jour me fatigue et m'ennuie. Il est brutal et bruyant. Je me lève avec peine, je m'habille avec lassitude, je sors avec regret, et chaque pas, chaque mouvement, chaque geste, chaque parole, chaque pensée me fatigue comme si je soulevais un écrasant fardeau.

Mais quand le soleil baisse, une joie confuse, une joie de tout mon corps m'envahit. Je m'éveille, je m'anime. A mesure que l'ombre grandit, je me sens toute autre, plus jeune, plus forte, plus alerte, plus heureuse .

Alors j'ai envie de crier de plaisir comme les chouettes, de courir sur les toits comme les chats ; et un impétueux, un invincible désir d'aimer s'allume dans mes veines.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RATTLESNAKE Combat Dance Crotalus oreganus oreganus ©Marc Crumpler (Ilikethenight)

Most rattlesnake species mate during the summer or fall. Females secrete small amounts of sex pheromones, which leave a trail that males follow by using their tongue and Jacobson's organ as a guide. Once a receptive female has been located, the male will often spend several days following her around (a behavior that is not common outside of the mating season), frequently touching and rubbing her in an attempt to stimulate her.

The males of some species, such as timber rattlesnakes (C. horridus), will fight each other during the mating season, in competition over females. These fights known as "combat dances" consist of the two males intertwining the anterior portion of their bodies, often with the head and neck held vertically. The larger males usually end up driving the smaller males away.
