Carolina Pygmy Rattlesnake

This month’s image of a Carolina Pygmy Rattlesnake (Sistrurus miliarius miliarius) was captured by Tucker Ennis. 

“Individuals from this particular region usually have a beautiful reddish coloration.  This individual was a neonate, or newborn, and was only slightly bigger than a quarter while curled up.”
