According to Burkett, who spoke to The Sandpaper, “we were out inspecting a specific region where we know rattlesnakes give birth.” This is where female snakes congregate, bask in the sun, and allow their embryos to develop. It is in late August that they give birth to live young, [and] the young usually remain with the mother.”

The specifics of Burkett’s work include identifying and documenting any endangered animals or plants in a specific location so that Herpetological Associates’ customers may continue with their projects with the least amount of adverse environmental effects. However, despite the fact that the scientist had spent years studying rattlesnakes, neither he nor Schneider had ever seen a serpent precisely like this one before.
