This was about 10 years ago inside the plant. There was a Timber rattle snake sighting twice (not by myself). i saw quite a few cotton mouths and a coral snake once (It had actually made a home in a PLC building. I think they may have come out at night time seeking some of the heated pipes and equipment!?

Awesome photography skills

Timber Rattlers are very rare in this area now. And even rarer this close to the coast. You can still find WDB (C atrox) just fine on the coast and sometimes in this area (though Western Pygmy are "more common" while still being rare" in some places). Coral Snake would be understandable though, they are found cruising, but more so in the last few years vs now.

Cool pictures, even better that you can go out and find this kind of stuff. Here in MN we have mosquitos and really big mosquitos.

We have a nice stable population of mosquitos, enough to turn your legs and arm black from the masses! But just takes some long sleeves and pants, and getting use to it!
