With rock-flipping, the only competitors are the critters underneath, trying to see how quickly they can get away from you!

Now rock-flipping... that sounds a bit mad! Stone-skipping; spent many hours doing that by the seaside or any decent river with a bit of a shallow beach beside it.

In that case, I'd suggest wearing gloves and/or using a pry bar — or simply finding somewhere else to do your flipping. Please do not disturb any known rattlesnake shelters if you don't plan on replacing the rocks exactly as you found them. Timber rattlesnakes, like many other adult herps, are very site-loyal, and can die if their homes are destroyed. Also, don't play with spiders. If you disturb an adjacent hornet nest (hey, it's possible), run like hell. But be sure to have someone standing by to get it all on film!
