Sidewinder rattlesnake

I had received a call that there was a rattlesnake in the road. So I brought my trashcan, and snake hook and put it in the can.

I carried the trashcan a few hundred yds away from the road into the sandy wash. I released it & then took some pictures of it. It was not in a hurry to go anywhere at all, probably still chilled from the early morning.
