Protected or not if I see one it will be past tense Why? UUUGH maybe because God commanded it when he banish them to slither on their bellies and be struck on the head by man ... LOL You know that whole Adam and Eve and the apple thing ......

Exactly, they are just like a bee, don't mess with them, and you don't get bit.
I didn't even kill the one that bit me. That isn't true.Some hives are more aggressive than others,all you need to do is go near them and that's enough provocation for them.I would imagine its the same for snakes.

Great picture of a rattlesnake taxi Typically, Idaho doesn't have big rattlesnakes like further south. Where I live, there are prairie rattlesnakes, and a 48" snake is about as long as they get. Jack Happen to know what plant that is blooming? Awesome picture Taxi and jack, Is that what y’all call a prairie rattlesnake?

Those timber rattlers are pretty snakes. We’re supposed to have them here, but I’ve yet to see one My understanding is they are pretty thin in your area.

Aix (and others) -
The picture I have posted above, and I assume that of Taxi, are Crotalus viridis, Prairie rattlesnakes. The blue flowers are indeed lupine (Lupinus caudatus). There are only two counties in Idaho that have that particular species of rattlesnake, the rest of the drier, lowland parts of the state have a different species. Of course, the higher mountains and the heavily timbered panhandle don't have rattlers. Here where I live, they are relatively common.
I sure like the vivid coloration on those timber rattlers.

Nice pic, thanks for posting it. They are very cool looking both the yellow and gray phase.
