It is not lost on me that I'm posting things like this on a Saturday night when everyone else is apparently out on hot dates making out in front of Alexas.

Lol, whatever. I've got my headlamp, video light and snake stick and am headed out to my favorite #BikeHerping road. Will post #snake photos if I find any.

The only snake on tonight's #BikeHerping ride: another wee sidewinder rattlesnake.

In the glare of my LED light, it's obvious, but I nearly ran it over with my bicycle. It's only about 6" tip to tail in this position and was nearly invisible with my bike light.

Two nights ago I found three species of snake, but the last two night, just the sidewinders.

Heading out on my #bike for more #herping
#BikeHerping should be a thing!
Gonna start before dark tonight. More snakes are out later, but I want to get back to photograph bats at the hummingbird feeder later.

Is #BicycleHerpetology or #BikeHerping a thing? It's a great way to find snakes, much easier than in a car because you can easily hop off and investigate. You get to ride a bike and find snakes, how fun is that?

Went out the same road tonight, but all I found is the most adorbs baby sidewinder rattlesnake. It was so smol. I wanted to hold it, but I would be in the hospital now. It was about 8" stretched out. Video shows me shooing off the road with a stick.

(By the way, no, baby rattlers aren't more venomous/dangerous. That's another bad snake myth.)
