Rock Solid Rattlesnake Romance: The Daryl & Carol Story
What can we learn from two snakes in just one week, without laying a hand on them? When a pair of Rock Rattlesnakes showed up in our backyard, we had a front-row seat to something rare. Meet Daryl and Carol and see what their week together reveals about how these snakes find food, find each other, and (maybe) test each other along the way. Filmed and photographed the whole way, this is their story.
