Suddenly, Pinkie-Pepper burst through the door and shouted, "Pygmy Rattlesnake!" Soon, I was following her outside into the darkness, my adrenaline rushing and pulse pounding. Sure enough, there is was! https://s15.postimg.cc/537d3hgxn/IMG_9215.jpg While these may be a beautiful snake with some amazing coloration, they are also a venomous snake and dangerous to interact with. That's why I relocate them further into the wilderness whenever we encounter them. https://steemitimages.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/Egs1FdA.jpg Last year, when @vcelier [came down to visit,](https://steemit.com/photography/@papa-pepper/close-to-the-creatures-with-papa-a-black-pygmy-rattlesnake-plus-bonus-background-story) we even found a black one! We will see what happens this year, but we videoed me when I captured this one. http://i.imgur.com/uVNBbyL.jpg ## VIDEO OF THE CAPTURE ## https://youtu.be/N6iUEieu1t4 https://i.imgur.com/9qd6eqf.jpg ## As always, I'm @papa-pepper and *here's the proof:* https://s15.postimg.cc/6przay10r/IMG_9198.jpg proof-of-little-pygmy-rattle-snake-of-2018 https://i.imgur.com/UOUY6uO.png #### Until next time… ## https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSKT3AhEpV8JXA2eaE1HQPogXev5rzG4uxMzTi3ieE3Tc *GIF provided by @anzirpasai* ----- #### [FOR MORE PAPA-PEPPER CONTENT, CHECK ME OUT ON SOLA](https://sola.ai/papa_pepper) ------------- https://steemitimages.com/DQmWJLBUEQKrsCFYNSpzTSiRPbR8AT45ZpwbjgCX5ucQaDN/image.png ### [TO TRANSLATE POSTS VIA OPERATION TRANSLATION CLICK HERE](https://steemit.com/translation/@papa-pepper/operation-translation-now-under-construction-what-it-is-and-how-you-can-help)
