😱 Trekking around Carrizo Plains National Monument, California brought us upon this amazing Mojave Rattlesnake...still sunning and not quick to move in the early AM light. Large holes in the ground can be a good indicator snakes may be nearby; more reasons to wear long pants when hiking! Considered one of the worlds most potent snakes, this one was not the max 4 ft (1.2 m) and adult can get to. There were no hospitals nearby, just a Ranger Station, so I didn’t want to get a closer picture. Gotta love adventures! Great start to our journeys, would you say? 🐍🐍🐍 #reptilesofinstagram #mojaverattlesnake #snake #carrizoplain #carrizoplainnationalmonument #californiaadventure #travelgram #hikingadventures #venomoussnakes (at Carrizo Plain National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMtoyQ8HbfQ/?igshid=1mmx9nrk0bn3v
