I agree that the adult rattlesnake and king snake interaction is very interesting. Also, many of the species listed on the species accounts were caught using drift fence traps. My adviser takes DNA samples from them for a diet study that he is performing (he uses the DNA to see who is eating who). Don't worry, you probably have quicker than you think!Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661805666513690900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143200634875010591.post-23943545894793564982012-04-29T19:06:07.429-07:002012-04-29T19:06:07.429-07:00These are amazing.
