    Tail rattling is found in snakes all over the world and is believed to predate Crotalus. So rattles are an adaptation to enhance an existing defensive behavior by making the tail rattling louder and not reliant on terrain to rattle against. If it was imitation we wouldn't see the same behavior in old world snakes where rattlers haven't lived.
    Same kinda misconception about especially natricine snakes who flatten their heads defensively, which is much more likely to be about looking larger than looking like a viper.

    These videos are great. I hope you do more locations. I used to hunt bark scorpions and Mojave green rattlesnakes in Arizona for research at ASU. I miss it. Washington is beautiful but sadly lacking in fun critters.

    I like the general presentation style of this channel. I like the apathetic approach. I like to use a similar style. It’s better than the scary music and acting scared style. Can you really be scared if you watched a guy non-chalantly just relocate a rattlesnake. I couldn’t

    Any possible tips you could give for rock flipping? Particularly for S. polymorpha. I’ve flipped rocks in and around the Diablo range for dozens of hours to no avail.

    • @GeneralApathy
      @GeneralApathy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In my experience, the best time to find them is in April. Search grasslands or otherwise open areas with a minimal density of trees. The best rocks to look under are the ones that are flat and not too far deep in the ground, but rather just laying on the surface. If you aren't met with success in one area, you should move to another; sometimes they have low densities in certain regions for reasons which may not be apparent at all.

      This was during the afternoon. I made a correction in the description: all of the Elgaria were Southern Alligator Lizards. It seems like there are a couple of distinct variants where I was.

      It depends on the location and the time of the year. In this instance, there was something to be fond under most of the rocks.
