The group behind the popular RattleCam Livestreams, presenting hundreds of rattlesnakes in California and Colorado, are expanding to the east.
In April, researchers with Project RattleCam started his “mega den” North -Colorado live stream for the second year, so that everyone could view the Reptilian internet stars when they come from the winter winter way. The California Livestream, which debuted in 2021, is expected to resume somewhere this summer.
After recently reaching the more financing, a new live stream in Pennsylvania will probably debut in the spring of 2026, according to Owen Bachhuber, a graduated student of California Polytechnic State University who helps running project RattleCam. The new camera has the option to present other types of snakes, such as copper cups, as well as different animals such as black bears.
“We want everyone to see what a snake could live near them, and that is part of the attraction of the Pennsylvania camera to represent the people in the east,” said Bachhuber Today on 13 May. “We hope to continue to broaden the reach of the RattleCam and its impact.”
Dozens of rattles snakes came together in a Rookery in Colorado.
Bachhuber said that the project continues to inform the public about the snakes, including young students who observe the live stream in science classes under a newly published curriculum. Researchers have already started noticing fascinating facts via the Colorado Livestream, which will present hundreds of rattlesnakes that come from an unspeaked private ownership.
“In particular, there were a few snakes that had pretty serious injuries, such as missing tails or head wounds or large scars. We have actually seen those snakes coming from hibernation, so that is really encouraging for us,” he added.
What is the RattleCam project?
Project RattleCam investigates the social dynamics of the snakes through their unique scale patterns and is intended to challenge a long -term negative stigma to rattles snakes.
Scientists from California Polytechnic State University, Dickinson College in Pennsylvania and Central Coast Snake Services work together to create Project RattleCam. The first live stream was launched in the summer of 2021 along the central coast of California.
The exact location of the DEN -complex is withheld according to the safety of the snakes, according to Bachhuber.
