David, longish legs, not very heavy. Clearly pretty young. I kept looking to see if any of his siblings would show up. I don't take chances. They are bigger, stronger, faster and have bigger claws and teeth than me.
Edit to add: Just saw your other post about snakes. Got a big time intro to rattlers last summer and this. There has been a 20 year campaign to educate the cottage going public in Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) to protect the Massassauga Rattler. After 10 years of everyone walking around them instead of the previous 100 years of killing every one ever seen, they are now everywhere. Doing a little work in some junipers last weekend and everything took 3 times as long as we made sure we weren't about to step on one.
