Prairie Rattlesnake - Pecos Pueblo, NM

This long and very cryptic youngster was hiding in plain site on the pathway at Pecos Pueblo in New Mexico. We almost stepped on the little guy as we were heading up to look out point. There were signs everywhere warning of encounters with the skinny reptiles, but it is rare that you see one. Notice there are only two buttons which means this is a young snake. We watched him for a bit and then he travelled into the grass and off the path.
