We encountered this gentleman at the end of our hike in Topanga State Park today. Don't sit on the fences!
This is a Pacific Coast Rattlesnake with very toxic venom.
We learned quite a bit of up-to-date info on poisonous snakes from this man today. It was a lucky encounter.
Good job snake expert!
Was this at Trippet Ranch?
