are coiling up together in a Colorado “mega-den” — and a live stream is capturing every second of the rarely seen slice of life.Tuesday at the remote, undisclosed site in northern Colorado , where as many as 2,000 rattlesnakes are slithering and crawling on top of one another.“This is a big, big den for rattlesnakes.

The babies are expected to be born in August — an exhilarating moment researchers hope to capture on tape. Unlike nearly all other reptiles, they do not hatch from eggs but are born alive. For the truly snake-obsessed, the researchers re-activated a camera for the third summer at a smaller rattlesnake den in California.The snakes will stay in the den with their mother until the male snakes return in September for hibernation, marking the end of the livestream until next spring.
“I try to speak up for the underdog and to show people that rattlesnakes have this other side that’s really worthy of our admiration,” said Taylor.
