This was unexpected.
There I was, just sitting at my computer spending some time on steemit. Suddenly, Pinkie-Pepper burst through the door and shouted, "Pygmy Rattlesnake!" Soon, I was following her outside into the darkness, my adrenaline rushing and pulse pounding. Sure enough, there is was!
While these may be a beautiful snake with some amazing coloration, they are also a venomous snake and dangerous to interact with. That's why I relocate them further into the wilderness whenever we encounter them.
Last year, when @vcelier came down to visit, we even found a black one! We will see what happens this year, but we videoed me when I captured this one.

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
