Notes:
Named this rattlesnake 'Betty Boop' - She has an injury to her neck (see pics), directly behind her head on left side (looking down from behind).

She was extremely passive; NO rattling, NO hissing, NO strikes... very calm and just wanted to get away. We detained her for approximately 40 minutes in the shade for pics and video... then released her at exact location where found. Betty measured 36" w/ eleven (11) button rattle.

We went back the next day on Sun 7/13/14 to find her under the same rock. We will continue to check on her, visual only.
Update: Sat 7/19/14 Betty at same location, sunning herself at 9:00 AM - visual only.
