The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake

[pet_snake_78]

Forgot to add, they also like tall grass. In MO, we found lots at the base of hillsides in prairies. I think because the grass hides them and the food is plentiful, in MO you don't see the chipmunks as populas as out east although they still eat them there, too.

Amen! And this goes for all snake species imho... When i see cages of 2feet high for burmese pythons for example, that makes me cry... Ofcourse they don't climb then, they can't !!!
