Random Beauty from Panther Island


Dusky pygmy rattlesnakes are often seen throughout Panther Island. Young snakes of this species have a yellow-greenish tail tip. These guys only get to to be between 12 to 24 inches long but they are thick-bodied. Their rattles are small and hard to hear... it sounds like an insect buzzing actually! They are VENOMOUS so be careful!
