I'll give it to you, kobraski, that vipers have a certain elegance to them. But let's not forget that whole 'pugnacious' bit.
Kelly, that would be one huge ear wig. I would post on that next ...

To take a photo like this involves a combination of photography skill, a good camera, and a will to search out prairie rattlesnakes (I lack all three). One site describes thes rattlers as "pugnacious; coiling and striking with little provocation." Looking at those eyes, I can see that it's true.
One 54" specimen weighed in at 4 1/2 lbs. That's quite a few snake burgers.
Thanks for the photo, Jack.
