Had a visitor

[WDH]

This is the biggest canebrake rattler (also called timber rattler) that I have encountered.  This one could put a hurting on you.  This visitor is not welcome.

 :D :D :D  coxy!!




That's good stuff.




WDH I wonder if yours has any relation to the yellowish one I posted.  I see the yellowish ones almost as much as the mainly black ones...not sure what the deal is.  My neighbor swears that one is diamondback and one is timber, but I also thought that there weren't any diamondback up here just timber rattlers. 


We are getting alot of kangaroos around here too they are becoming a problem.


Here's a video of me jacking ones jaw:

Makes sense, I've never picked one up and checked it's undercarriage but I remember back in the boy scout days they taught us that males have two schmeckles :D

WDH, you eat snakes??

[WDH]

I have eaten rattlesnake on several occasions.  Not a preferred food. 

[Andries]

Haven't seen a snake worth worrying about, ever.
Those Southern critters give me the willies!
Good thing I'm this far North.
I'll take the risk of being turned into till via a really fast glacier.

[WDH]

Snakes don't like glaciation.
