Field Notes: Rattlesnakes! (Patreon)

How does one film rattlesnakes for an upcoming Deep Look episode? Very carefully! Our cinematographer and lead producer Josh Cassidy used a transparent tube to safely film this northern Pacific rattlesnake – and its rattle – up-close.

Eric Stitt (left) and Michael Starkey (right) from Save the Snakes helped wrangle the northern Pacific rattlesnake so Josh could get his shots with a high-speed video camera.

This episode will premiere next week – so ssssssstay tuned! 🐍
