The Mighty Massasauga Rattlesnake *pics*
Greetings,
Well I am very excited to report the successful photographic capture of the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus catenatus).
Enjoy the photos!







Cheers,
Ryan M Bolton
P.S. Since I found these cute little guys today too, I thought they deserved a chance in the spotlight. The Yellow-spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) - just tiny juveniles:

Sweet find. Massasaugas are my favourite snake. I'v noticed our massasaugas (from Essex County) have slightly smaller heads (or narrower) then the ones found around Georgian Bay. I bet it's from an extremely fast growth rate, the body gets big and fat fast and the head still looks like a juvies head. Here are some pics, the first one illustrates the head size quite well. They all look like this.



here is a gigantic male



and a few others....
