So my nice found this "rattle snake" in the gutter after a pretty good rainstorm.

Obviously not really a rattle snake, but what is he. He looks really familiar, I just can't come up with the name.

sorry the pictures are bad- I had to take them quickly before the hoard of children behind me trampled the poor thing.

Love how the pattern pretty much fades away

Yep, looks like that's what it is . I knew it was fairly common, but it evaded me - dumb moment -
