Last weekend my bf and I participated in a local reptile society event where we joined a Rattlesnake and Bull Snake researcher for a day. For the past few years he has been collecting, tagging, recording info (such as sex, length, weight, etc.) and releasing both Rattlesnakes and Bull Snakes in Dinosaur Provincial Park in southern Alberta and then submitting the info to the local Fish & Wildlife database. Below are a few snapshots and here's a
slideshow of all my photos.
