Carlton Carnivores Oct 8

Yep, it’s that time of year…the fall cold fronts have triggered the snakes to head for hibernacula staging areas, and that sometimes means prairie rattlesnakes that have gone unnoticed all summer have traversed through yards and been at higher risk of encountering people. Not their fault and they’re not interested in staying there, but does mean the people wise enough to ask for help and not try and take risky chances doing obscene acts to the wildlife are calling me a little more frequently. This young male was very fired up but as usual avoidied trying to to bite despite the display, and is now hopefully well away from the houses while still in the territory he’s familiar with.

I created this Viper mascot for Turquoise Health's Design System, Pit Viper. I supplied a few versions including full body, and just the face/goggles for use as a smaller symbol, both with and without the Viper's tongue showing. The Turquoise Health's logo is shown on the arm of the Goggles.
