I just recently returned from an ecoblitz. For those of you who don't know an ecoblitz is where ecologists like ornithologists, herpetologists, and other various ecologists gather in a specific area and take turns surveying for animals related to their field of study. Now I'm not a legit herpetologist but I do work for one and I know a great deal about the field.

This picture right here is A timber Rattle snake, that I was able to find and get a pretty good close up picture, seeing how these things are venomous.
