Got some herping time on Tuesday evening. Right on the edge of the Badlands SD. After picking A picking a spot, I found a Prairie rattler 10 steps from the truck, and another after 30 minutes of searching

Such a nice day today

outside for a little sun and slithering today

Grumpy boy. Sometimes when feeding him, he strikes the prey and coils it, then releases the bite but not the coils. So i have to get him to unwrap to get the prey item back and get him to strike again. He finally ate, but was pissed at me afterwards.
