I went out looking for Timber Rattlesnakes yesterday and saw a few. These two never moved. The one on the bottom is a neonate, born within the last 10 days or so. Not my best photos, there was some grass and spiderweb in the way, but it was a nice day out.

Both of em look like they're ready to cause some pain if you got too close.

Great pics.

Nice pics of some pretty snakes. The grass and web just enhance the snakes in their environment.

Nice shots. I`ve never seen a canebrake down here without centerline down the back.

I think all the canes I've seen have that centerline, I don't recall any that didn't. These weren't canebrakes though, they were mountain Timbers.

Oh, I thought it was down this way. Those up that way do have a variety of color variations, more than ours. I`d like to see one of those with the almost olive colored base coat, and one like those two in your avatar.

Nice ones! Don't see as many as I used to. And yeah, most of our mountain rattlers don't have the back stripe. You'll see one occasionally with a faint line down its back, but very rarely.
