WATCH: Thousands of Rattlesnakes Emerge from Northern Colorado Den

Consider this your official warning to start looking out for rattlesnakes in Northern Colorado. Last year, a live stream was created showing a live stream of thousands of snakes in Northern Colorado.

The initiative is called Project RattleCam and their goal is to make Americans less afraid of rattlesnakes. Project RattleCam debuted in Colorado in 2024, but already had a rattlesnake den they focused on in California.

Why Project RattleCam Wants You to Learn to Love Rattlesnakes

ProjectRattlecam is all about the education of rattlesnakes and educating residents on the important role they play in our ecosystem. Scientists from Cal Poly, Central Coast Snake Services, and Dickinson College are behind the initiative.

They also are trying to bring more rattlesnakes to the state. ProjectRattlecam told USA Today that they do not unveil the location of where the mega den is located due to concerns for the snake's health.
