Welcome to Project RattleCam
Uncover the Secret Lives of Snakes
California RattleCam
Colorado RattleCam
The livestream runs 7am - 8pm PT each day from July through October.
See our California Learning page to read more about Western Rattlesnakes, other animals here, and see the California named snakes.
You are watching a livestream of a Prairie Rattlesnake rookery (MegaDen) at an undisclosed location in Colorado. At this rookery, hundreds of snakes overwinter, shed their skins, and bask in the sun. Dozens of pregnant snakes spend the summer here preparing to give birth and care for their babies. The livestream runs 24-7 from May through October. If you are watching and the stream stops, it will begin again soon. The stream pauses for 15 minutes at 7am and 7pm PT.
