Just another of the timer rattlesnakes seen on the 2012 PA trip. This was the only snake seen at a usually very populated basking/gestation site. It was noted that many of the leaves on surrounding trees were unusually gone or dead, leading to the unfortunate suspicion that something has happened to the area that may have had a negative impact on the snakes there.
