Notes:
Found this handsome feller while hiking... named this one 'Travis Bickle' after the Robert DeNiro character from Taxi Driver. This little guy had an attitude that seemed to say "you looking at ME... I'm faster than you... make your move...!"

I had Travis for about 40 minutes, and during the whole time he never stopped rattling for more than 5 or 10 seconds.

After taking some really great pics and video, I released Travis Bickle exactly where I found him, back into his natural environment. I hope to see Travis again some day... he was a GREAT rattlesnake!
