From National Geographic Photo Of The Day; April 26, 2013:
Diamondback, Big Bend National Park Fred LaBounty, My Shot
“I carry snake tongs when I travel to Big Bend National Park to move snakes from the warm roadways in the mornings so they won’t be run over. I came across this Western Diamondback Rattlessnake (Crotalus atrox) near Panther Junction. He went on the defensive as soon as I exited my truck. I didn’t want to pass up the photo op and photographed him with a Canon EOS 5D111 and a Canon 100-400 5.6L lens. I then moved him into the underbrush about 30 feet from the roadway.”

Portraits of the World’s Most Deadly Snakes
Serpentine, The sensual attractiveness of snakes, which coexists with their threatening, unpredictable and mysterious nature is truly unique. This dichotomy, in which their beauty seems to be heightened by their danger, and vice-versa, is what I find so fascinating. Add to these contradictions the rich symbolism of serpents and you have a wonderfully compelling subject.
