Is that for real???? With almost a half century of Jeeping and desert camping I've seen just a few lone snakes. Never anything like that. 
Ok you got me! But not real! Right?

Thought you would like to see what has just emerged in Red Rock Canyon.
Just what we need ..... a nest of them.

Subject: Mojave Green

Note the Hibernaculum (den, nest, burrow, basket) full of Crotalus
Scutulatus (Mojave green).
Which would be a group, gang, rumba, nest, bed of ... "snak-an-" which was 
derived from the
Proto-Indo-European word (s)neg-o- (to crawl/creep).  Anyway you folks
that hike or ride motorcycles out in the desert be extra careful, these pics were taken last 
week in Red Rock Canyon. Watch it!!!
