Today is #NationalSerpentDay! 🐍 One of the challenges #snakes face to their survival is unsupervised pets, especially cats. Free-roaming cats prey on 463 #reptile species worldwide. Please keep cats indoors, this not only protects cats but protects snakes too!

It’s #NationalSerpentDay, so here’s a rattlesnake we encountered while backpacking in the Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness Area in Arizona back on Earth Day 2015. My group encountered three different snakes in about 300 yards of trail; this one was climbing up a cliff face near where we were pausing in the shade for a snack. #OPCSpecialTheme 📸 #snake #arizona #wilderness #hiking
