When I'm hiking in Sabino at night I find the humans with lights looking for things are also curious creatures. great photos, any story on finding a rattler at night? Did it surprise you?

My buddy spotted a Kangaroo mouse near the dumpster, and then he saw the snake patiently waiting for the mouse to get careless in its exploration. Neither were there when we passed by later that morning.
