Night of Nights: Part 2 -- Sitting on the edge of the road was a gorgeous sub-adult pygmy rattlesnake. We were elated! We spent a few minutes photographing this beautiful snake and then moved it safely off the road. Pygmy rattlesnakes are a special find. North Carolina Pygmy Rattlesnakes are typically much more colorful than their Southern cousins, the dusky Pygmy Rattlesnake. They often range from a pale pinkish to an almost fire engine red in some locales. Aside from their coloration, these snakes are relatively rare in the state. They require specific habitats that are unfortunately being clearcut at an alarming rate. As a result of their desirability to the pet trade and low abundance, they are a protected species in North Carolina.
It’s been over a decade since they were all published. I have a poetry book coming out through an indie publisher this fall. I may eventually compile these weekly posts into something. So to answer your question…yes it’s ALWAYS on my mind and I’m hoping the stuff that comes out point forward will be more successful than those 4 books I self published between 2012-14 haha. I’m working on a fiction idea in the background too. So we shall see.
Stan. Glenna and I both read your articles every week. We find the both entertaining and thought provoking. Our nephew just got back from Iraq where he served in the army. He is now at Ft Campbell. When you write of your time over there we forward to him. Keep it up! Much love from us all.
Will check you out on Amazon and look forward to your next writings!
Love your writing and passion for all those critters. You have such knowledge and talent as a writer! Have you thought about authoring books?
I have a few children’s books and a faith based devotional book on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/author/stanlake
