Hasn't voted | It was an interesting encounter, we just stared at each other for about 4 or 5 minutes (while i snapped a few photos), then he slowly started to slither away. I would say he was roughly 14 to 16 inches long. He (or she) didn't even make any rattling noises. It was a pretty casual meeting. | | Posted Sep 5, 2004 2:57 am |

Voted 10/10 | nice shot.
had a similar encounter in leavenworth, WA this summer.........except in our case, the thing was rattling away and assuming the striking poise. | | Posted Sep 17, 2004 7:49 pm |
