A small snake lies all curled up on top of a palm frond. A yellow leaf lies to the right of the snake.The snake has black, gray and orange markings.

I see these guys fairly often here in Florida. “The pygmy rattlesnake (Sistrurus miliarius) is a small, venomous snake native to the Southeastern United States. It's the smallest rattlesnake species, measuring 15–20 inches long”. #PygmyRattlesnake #Venemous #SnakesofBlueSky

Heading back to Florida soon! Here's a dusky pygmy rattlesnake from a trip to the Everglades earlier this year.
