From Oct 2-5, Dr. Rulon Clark, San Diego State University rattlesnake researcher, travelled to TRU to give a seminar, and spend quite a bit of time talking to members of our lab about his work, students’ work, and mutual interests. The day after his presentation a number of us took him in the field for a brisk cool den visit, and despite the weather not being terribly cooperative, we did manage to see a total of 10 rattlesnake ‘stragglers’, probably making a last push to get to the safe confines of their dens.
