Rattlesnake (Mojave) in the Wild (BEST)

Gorgeous wild mojave rattler rescued, set free, and filmed in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Great close-ups, action shots, and tongue-flickering!

thanks!

hey, was the tongue flickering in slow-mo?

if i'm correct, snakes flicker real quick

[waywardmuse]

No, not at all. The speed of flickers varies widely among species. Sometimes it depends on how agitated the snake is. But all those flickers are real time speed.  I never do slow mo with snakes. They're usually slow enough -- except for coachwhips! Thanks for your comment.

[waywardmuse]

I understand -- thanks for your comment!

Very beautiful. I mourn every one I gotta dispose of when they come close to my front door.
