Hi everyone, Adrian here. Thanks for the awesome comments! I'm a bit shocked by how many views this is getting, so I feel the need to make a bit of a public statement on rattlesnake dens here, something I wish I had done in the video: Rattlesnake dens are incredibly sensitive areas. At the times of year when rattlesnakes aggregate at their dens they are extremely physiologically vulnerable and susceptible to predation (particularly from humans). As demonstrated by this video, they can be very easily stressed by human presence and I strive to minimize that as much as possible, which is why I never handle rattlesnakes at their den and try to only visit each den once or twice per season. While I hope everyone enjoys and learns from this video, I also really hope that the viewers understand that these den sites are best left alone. These dens are essentially havens - the one place where rattlesnakes can be safe before they venture out in search of food, where they may encounter the many hazards of the Anthropocene such as roads, urban areas, wildfires, and ignorant or malicious humans. While I always strive to encourage compassionate coexistence between humans and rattlesnakes, I do not want to encourage people to go looking for rattlesnake dens. I also want to point out that when I make broad generalizations about rattlesnakes, I'm usually referring to Washington's only rattlesnake species, the Northern pacific rattlesnake. This is the case when I say “rattlesnakes rarely get longer than 3 feet" - What I mean is that Northern pacific rattlesnakes* rarely exceed 3 feet in length. Feel free to contact me on my instagram page @adrianslade for any questions you may have about snakes! -Adrian
No worries from this guy. Im no where near these lovelies. I being a northwest Oregon dweller the only havens I’ll be disturbing are the yellow jackets. Only if they take up residence in my ole pickup
Question for you Adrian... What can we look for to AVOID accidently finding snakes like these? Types of terrains characteristics, places where these snakes might like to rest, etc. As beautiful as they are, I would rather not come up on one unexpectedly.
Hi Adrian! You look so happy what you’re doing love it 💗 just please please please be careful turning you’re back from them within reach of sneaking up on you! 😊
Adrian is so well spoken and so informative ! I appreciate her ability to use a few words to speak a chapters' worth of knowledge regarding those gorgeous rattlesnakes. Please invite her back to speak on whatever she has knowledge of !
Oh Nick, thank you and Adrian for this wonderful show!! So glad you had Adrian on again! She’s such an amazing person and we learned so much. I hope we can see her again.
I have learned more about rattlesnakes and rattlesnake behavior from this video with Adrian than anywhere else. You might say that the light went on. Her kindness toward rattlesnakes is based on understanding and while I'm not prepared to "love them" I no longer view them with a degree of hostility. Wary respect. Thanks Nick and Adrian for making this youtube video.
that is some beautiful country out there! I love that type of country. Well I also love the Olympic Peninsula and visited it once. But I am Texan and I love this type of land too! More steeper hills than our Texas Hill Country region, it seems. Same amount of rattlers! Maybe more!😊
I can’t help it but like the last rattlesnake video with Adrian, I just get all weepy! I can’t help but get emotional over people who love snakes when what I experience on an almost daily basis is people who revile them. I love what you do, Adrian. In fact, I am quite envious. It’s what I should have done. I hope we see you and your friends again. I’ll live vicariously through you, and Nick. And I love that lichen, too! Thank you. 🐍💚
Adrian, you do have a way with rattlesnakes. Pretty amazing. Stunning day. Happy people. Mostly happy snakes. What a treat to be along on your research. Thank you.
WOW can't get enough of this kind of programming. When you hike with Liz I wonder if she knows about her the wild flowers you pass. Spent 35yr working in alpine on Mt Hood and said I would not quit till I knew all of the names of the wild flowers at 68.5 the body gave out and I retired, but could hold my own with any USFS botanist. Still have space in my head to learn about the natural world. Thank you for keeping me nurtured.
Wonderful video. Totally unexpected but very welcome. Adrian imparts her knowledge of the snakes very clearly and informatively. She shows her enthusiasm and love of them. Thanks Nick for sharing your adventures with us. 🐻
@@stuartwray6175 That natural selection thing at work over eons. Birds that nest on the Alaskan tundra have developed eggs that are perfectly camouflaged. All by random chance ( survival rates ). Such an elegant and wonderful reality!
Watching Ms Slade share her love and awe for the nature she observes was so inspiring. It's early in the morning on Portland island in the UK, and this was a beautiful and heart warming way to start my day. I suddenly find myself infected with snake love! You are both the most perfect teachers xxx thank you Ms Slade, cant wait for more geozology xx
It is very encouraging to see several snakes in the area. Wonderful close up filming, and we could hear the rattling. Shrub steppe is amazing habitat! What a treat this is. Thank you Adrian and Nick!
Best snake video ever. Two highly intelligent educators, both equally passionate of their respective fields. Adrian is witty and hilarious and just as chill as the rattlesnakes! Wow, I learned so much. Heat sensitive proteins etc... Unreal and lol. THANKS guys
Rattlesnakes are really amazing in the manner of their camouflage. You look and look and then, almost by magic, the snake appears. Thank you Adrian for your video and lecture, I can listen to you speak about rattlesnakes for hours on end.
I came to Nick from CPBBD - as a zoologist/botanist with no geology background, I needed to know more about the lithosphere. It's wonderful that Nick adds spice with zoologic and botantic content to the mix when we're lost in the depths of geologic time😕. Adrian conveys great respect, knowledge and sensitivity for this habitat and her subject - best wishes to her on her journey. Big thank you to you both!
What a treat this was! Nick, you can call yourself an expert snake cinematographer now. This was a wonderful melding of geology and biology. Well done!
Adrian is so passionate and compassionate about the snakes! You gotta Love it! Thanks Nick and Adrian for an informative and interesting video about a very misunderstand creature!
It's been a while since I've watched this. As always, there's so much more to learn by review. Fascinating. I just love it all, including the big sage! Thanks, Adrian and Nick!
Adrian, you certainly are a very brave person in getting close enough to them rattlesnakes. Just the same, be careful. Thanks to Nick and you for sharing this awesome video.
What a wonderful experience i have just enjoyed! Sitting in the comfort of my home in Portland, savoring the exertion of scrambling over rocks, listening to meadowlarks, watching up close visits with a gamut of personalities from grumpy to indifferent - all things i can no longer physically do - thank you both, so much, for the effort you have put into this adventure!
Thanks, Adrian. I grew up (1-17) near the desert in Arizona where rattlesnakes never seemed attractive. I've learnt more of them from your two videos with Nick than those years taught me.
The one thing that gets my attention faster than a rattlesnake rattle is a biologist interpreting with scientific terms. It's music to my ears and so satisfying! Thanks for the instruction, Adrian, and for your sensitivity to all nature's inhabitants around you. From Linneaus, to Russell, to Darwin, your wonder, excitement, and knowlege brings us all closer to a relationship with our world. Artemisia tridentata perpetua!
One rattlesnake says to another, " Oh no, she's back and she brought a friend!" LOL Thanks Nick for bringing us on a visit with Ms. Slade at a nice sage covered rock field snake den. Awesome visit!
Thanks so much, Adrian and Nick. I grew up in Lincoln County with lots of Rattle Snakes around. I learned a lot from Adrian and appreciate both of your efforts. 60 years ago, hiking with about 6 fellow Boy Scouts, we scrambled down a South-facing draw near Republic that had rocks a lot like those in the video. We stopped when we heard a rattle. Looking around I saw about 6 or so snakes sunning themselves. We cautiously exited downhill and left the snakes to themselves. This video brought that memory back and I enjoyed it now and then.
It’s a joy to travel into rattle snake land.. they carry no ticks.,at 8 years 1953.. on camping trips.. visiting my dads cabin.. I always captured a lizard..horny toad.. I had a new pet.. then released.. I loved their home.. and couldn’t bear the thought of relocating to some city..the would lose everything...I rejoice with Mr Nick Zentern and felt like I was 8 years old again with my pretent older sister and brother.. that’s tough Territory..❤️❤️❤️🎺📚✍️👩🎨🖼🏠🌞🦅🐴🌺❤️
I loved both the rattlesnake videos. As a geologist in Nevada I come across many rattlesnakes and even dens exploring outcrops and talus. A great and fascinating insight into their behavior. I will definitely take more time to observe their behavior more closely.
Similar to Nick, Adrian's passion for her subject is most evident, and she also clearly revels in enthusiastically sharing the information, and does so in a very engaging way. Another fantastic teacher at CWU.
The landscapes of Eastern Washington are extraordinarily dramatic, with extreme scales of vertical relief exposed by the shrubby vegetation that bewilder the imagination. A breathtaking country.
Wow. This is tremendous fun. Thanks, Adrian. You're a formidable person. I live with water moccasins, copperheads, and one timber rattler my herpetologist buddy brought out of the forest one day at camp.
Hey guys! I'm over on the Wet Side, but it's nice to see a fellow Washingtonian who's NOT from Seattle get some shine! I know I'm only about 25 miles off, but I thought you guys were at the Yakima Firing Center.
I grew up in the Okanogan Valley on a farm near Malott. We saw lots of Rattlesnakes and dens around the area, particularly in the Starsman Lake area, but we never saw a Rattlesnake on the farm, but just off the farm out of the cultivated areas in the sage and rocks we could find them. We did see other snakes on the farm. My dad had a particular interest in Rattlesnakes an a interest in a roadside snake museum business near Alta Lake back in the 50's. I have never harmed any snake and have taught my children to have the same respect for snakes and other life forms. Nick & Adrian... Thanks for the post.
What a great video, Nick and Adrian! This was super fun to watch. I love seeing the professional approach of observing a rattlesnake den. I hope some people will learn from this and understand how sensitive these sites are to human disturbance. Observing rattlesnake dens has become one of my favorite herping activities, and I’ve learned that the less invasive I am, the better the experience is. Like Adrian said, even casting a shadow over a basking snake can disturb them and cause them to retreat. We can learn so much about these animals from observing these sites while showing the respect these animals deserve.
Thanks to both of you for this sweet video. What a great dialogue on love of rattlesnakes and sagebrush steppe. The sagebrush sea needs more allies like you. Thank you!
Thank you Nick! It is a fantastic video and Adrian is a amazing knowledgeable scientist, very entertaining and I will well aware when I walk between rocks!
what a most excellent video i like how the old lava flow has turned into over the many years a safe place for these creatures to live in a place where they could otherwise not survive.so nice to see a woman love plants and animals in her heart this is a rare beautiful woman i hope to meet one like her someday this earth needs more ladys like her and you too nick
Awesome information. I live in Western Washington and I’ve heard there are rattlesnakes in Eastern Washington but didn’t know we had them like this. So cool.
Adrian, I've learned a lot from you about rattlesnake habitats in Central Washington! Thank you, you are an awesome biologist and an ambassador for the rattlesnakes... Keep it up, please!!😉✨💗
People need to pay attention and be aware of nature's vast diversity. It's truly encouraging to see a young student so enthusiastic toward the preservation of North America's wild open spaces. Thank You Adrian.
I saw my first rattlesnake today. About 3 feet long with a rattle about 3 inches or so. It was amazing to watch it move along the brush. I got some great pictures!
This was fascinating, Adrian is an excellent instructor. I learned many things today and will now google the life cycle of the Rattlesnake. Thanks to you both for a fascinating video.
I love Adrian’s compassion and enthusiasm for rattlesnakes. I find it so disheartening when people kill rattlesnakes just because they’re rattlesnakes. I spend a lot of time biking, hiking and running in the Boise foothills and love to come across snakes-I always stop to watch them. Even just seeing snake tracks across the trails will make me stop to see if one is nearby. Mostly gopher snakes though but every few years I get lucky enough to see a rattlesnake. Thanks for this video 😊very informative
Hi everyone, Adrian here. Thanks for the awesome comments! I'm a bit shocked by how many views this is getting, so I feel the need to make a bit of a public statement on rattlesnake dens here, something I wish I had done in the video:
Rattlesnake dens are incredibly sensitive areas. At the times of year when rattlesnakes aggregate at their dens they are extremely physiologically vulnerable and susceptible to predation (particularly from humans). As demonstrated by this video, they can be very easily stressed by human presence and I strive to minimize that as much as possible, which is why I never handle rattlesnakes at their den and try to only visit each den once or twice per season. While I hope everyone enjoys and learns from this video, I also really hope that the viewers understand that these den sites are best left alone. These dens are essentially havens - the one place where rattlesnakes can be safe before they venture out in search of food, where they may encounter the many hazards of the Anthropocene such as roads, urban areas, wildfires, and ignorant or malicious humans. While I always strive to encourage compassionate coexistence between humans and rattlesnakes, I do not want to encourage people to go looking for rattlesnake dens.
I also want to point out that when I make broad generalizations about rattlesnakes, I'm usually referring to Washington's only rattlesnake species, the Northern pacific rattlesnake. This is the case when I say “rattlesnakes rarely get longer than 3 feet" - What I mean is that Northern pacific rattlesnakes* rarely exceed 3 feet in length.

It's so much fun to make the brain fizz, isnt it? Keep it up!!
Loved this. Snakes are so misunderstood. Thank you Adrian and Nick.
Wonderful video. Totally unexpected but very welcome. Adrian imparts her knowledge of the snakes very clearly and informatively. She shows her enthusiasm and love of them. Thanks Nick for sharing your adventures with us. 🐻
The skin on the rattlesnake makes so much sense when you see it on a rock covered in lichen, perfect camouflage.
I would assume that they have adapted their camouflage, given that they have lived there over hundreds of generations. Maybe I´m wrong.
@@henningerflats Isn't camouflage, by definition, a visual adaptation to the habitat/environment?
@@stuartwray6175 That natural selection thing at work over eons. Birds that nest on the Alaskan tundra have developed eggs that are perfectly camouflaged. All by random chance ( survival rates ). Such an elegant and wonderful reality!
What type of rattle snakes are these?
@@leedouglass9636looks like a Western Diamondback, one of only species of rattlesnakes in central WA

This was so interesting. Thanks Adrian and Nick!
What a treat this was! Nick, you can call yourself an expert snake cinematographer now. This was a wonderful melding of geology and biology. Well done!
Best documentary video of natural habitat for rattlesnakes that I have seen. Thanks for sharing. Great Geology too.
Adrian is so passionate and compassionate about the snakes! You gotta Love it! Thanks Nick and Adrian for an informative and interesting video about a very misunderstand creature!

Lived in rattlesnake country. Big respect for them. She was so informative. I especially loved the one in the rocks “blending”.
That was really good! She could easily have her own show. Some of those shots were amazing.
Wow. Nick. Truly awesome rattlesnake video. Really enjoyed it!
Thank you!

rarely have i noticed 2 people who are as calm and patient as yall
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the life of rattlesnakes in the basalt den. They blend in that environment so well for protection.
Absolutely fascinating - thank you to both of you for sharing your expertise!
That was fantastic- thank you!

People need to pay attention and be aware of nature's vast diversity. It's truly encouraging to see a young student so enthusiastic toward the preservation of North America's wild open spaces. Thank You Adrian.
Wild open spaces???? Do you not see those ugly metal structures all around them???
The camouflage of the snake is incredible ... even when zooming in you really need to pay attention to see them.
God bless stay safe..
Awesome video
Been waiting since last fall for the followup. Thanks so Much!
I saw my first rattlesnake today. About 3 feet long with a rattle about 3 inches or so. It was amazing to watch it move along the brush. I got some great pictures!
WOW she has great eye sight!
Amazing presentation, casual conversation well paced to deliver intelligent discussion
I go hiking 🥾 in that area every so often. I was not aware how many rattlesnakes are out there. Thank you for the video.
Great piece you guys do more of them
This was fascinating, Adrian is an excellent instructor. I learned many things today and will now google the life cycle of the Rattlesnake. Thanks to you both for a fascinating video.
