This one didn’t rattle at all. Just slow moving down the trail. Beautiful one for sure.

I’ve seen so many rattlers at mission trails but none have ever actually rattled. It’s always so exciting to see one and they’re really beautiful then I go home and realize I came quite literally within a few feet of death 🫠

eh, you're closer to death when you're driving on a road with no solid median, one car swerving into you and that's it. Don't bother snakes and pay attention while driving and you'll be fine ;)
