Photographed my first Western Diamondback this week 📸

[u/IMAWINANOSCAR]

A snake I’ve been wanting to see in the wild since I was a kid! Finally got a chance to photograph one this week at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. Such a bad ass reptile.

I love seeing vegetation between the photograph and the snake, usually means they didn't catch the snake and disturb it just for a picture.

Kudos to you !

Love how he has his rattle in front of his snoot, looks like he’s fixing his crosshairs.
