This is an update of the Snake Tracks Timber Rattlesnake research, conservation and education project currently being conducted by Earthshine Nature Programs.

Zoe and Utsanati remain in their over-wintering den sites. Today I discovered a rodent hole only a few inches from Utsanati’s location–this may be his access to his den site. I also found that Zoe has moved about 10 feet downhill from her last years den and is sheltering under a large rock.

Take a look at the video footage for the details of today’s expedition.

THANK YOU to Earthshine Mountain Lodge and all of you who have helped to make Earthshine Nature Programs happen!

Without all of you our wildlife conservation and education mission would not be possible.

It is our goal at ENP to promote wildlife conservation through exciting hands-on education and out-reach programs. I am not paid to operate ENP or to conduct wildlife conservation activities. ENP is a 100% volunteer operated project designed to educate you about these greatly misunderstood and amazing animals and to hopefully, impart to you their beauty, uniqueness and value to a healthy earth and healthy humans. If you would like to support Earthshine Nature Programs please feel free to donate using this link. You may also donate supplies such as research materials, animal foods, medical supplies, vitamins and habitat supplies. If you are interested in donating any of these items please contact us for more information on our current needs.  Receipts available upon request.

THANK YOU to all of you who have donated to ENP over the years!! Without you this important work would not happen.
