Mystery Photo, September 2007
Filed under: Mystery Photo by on 9/16/2007
The ninth installment of Mystery Photo is here:
How to play: Find a hidden animal in the photo, then place your guess in the comment area below. Please be as specific as possible. Each month I will post a new photo for you to try and decipher. The photos are not doctored; they are the glorious combination of two things, my lack of ability as a photographer and the subjects’ stubborn refusal to be photographed.
The results: We will not post comments until next Sunday (September 23rd, 2007). That gives everyone a chance to guess. That day, we will identify the photo and post your guesses in the order they were received.
[UPDATE: Congrats to Chris J. and the team of Karen/Rich for correct answers. See the answer and more details.]
Diamondback Rattlesnake
We’re going to say its a gopher snake – possibly 2 gopher snakes? Karen
bull snake – left center
Snake
Ah, I see a snake in the grass at the left. Maybe more than one, but that’s probably just my snake phobia kicking in.
Is is a rattlesnake? I’d guess Mohave Rattlesnake, but I’m doubtful. I am pretty sure it is at the very least in the snake family.
looks like a snake in the grass
A diamond back rattlesnake?
