That's what I call good rattlesnake photography.

But if you think this is exciting, forget it.

I'm looking for not one of these guys, but dozens of them buried somewhere deep in the Arizona Desert.

Ever since I can remember, I've been interested in dangerous and exotic wildlife.

For the past ten years or so, I've earned my living from photography, traveling from my home in Southern Africa to the ends of the Earth to photograph some of the rarest and deadliest creatures in the world.

Somewhere down there are rattlesnakes.

I'm looking for one specific kind of rattlesnake, the most dangerous, the most feared, the most terrific of them all, western diamondback rattlesnake.

I'm not looking for just one of these snakes. I'm hoping to find 10,20,30 even 40 if I'm lucky, all together in one place.

I've come exactly the right time of the year because it's a denning season.

Each fall western diamondback rattlesnakes begin heading underground.
