ARIZONA AUG / SEPT 2017

Once again I`ve been back to Southern Arizona to look for rattlesnakes, ... this time with photographers, biologists and friends Thor Håkonsen & Are Hogner. 2 weeks of hard work with the average of 4,5 hours of sleep each night (!) brought us 9 different species of rattlers of whom 3 were new for me :

Arizona Black Rattlesnake (Crotalus cerberus)
Blacktailed Rattlesnake (Crotalus molasses)
Mohave Rattlesnake (Crotalus scutulatus)
Prairie Rattlesnake (Crotalus vitidis)
 Ridgenose Rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi)
Rock Rattlesnake (Crotalus lepidus klauberi)
Sidewinder Rattlesnake (Crotalus cerastes)
Twinspotted Rattlesnake (Crotalus pricei)
Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox)

A snake is principally a straight line with a frozen face in one end, and I find shooting good, different and varied shots of snakes difficult !! Even though many people dislike snakes .... I still hope that you can enjoy my shots.

A warm thank you to Thor Håkonsen & Are Hogner for inspiration & great company. Without Thor`s planning, contacts, knowledge and sharp eye for snakes ... I would not have seen many species.

Ridgenose Rattlesnake : I always said that the Blacktailed Rattlesnake was the most beautiful of all rattlers, ... but that was before I saw my first Ridgenose !!

The Rock Rattlesnake is small, rear ..... and hard to find

Arizona Black Rattlesnake : I always said that the Blacktailed Rattlesnake was the most beautiful of all rattlers, then I saw my first Ridgenose and had to change my mind, but when I saw my first Arizona Black Rattlesnake .... I was completely knocked out !!

The Mohave Rattlesnake is probably the most dangerous of all American rattlers. It combines long fangs and big venom yields with a very potent neurotoxic venom, and in the southeastern corner of Arizona they are more toxic than any other place in the US.
The pictured snake is dead (roadkill)


The Western Diamond Rattlesnake is a big and dangerous snake that can grow up to 1,7 m !!. 
I always wanted to find a big, angry diamondback to play with, .... and finally I found a worthy candidate. This solid giant challenged us with a very aggressive attitude ... 
and I had a good time with my camera !!
