Yellow phase and black phase mountain timber rattlers that I encountered in the woods a couple days ago.

I like seeing the different colors of timber Rattlers. Here's one that my neighbor ran over last Saturday night right below my house.

They're fairly common in the mountains. These timbers are often considered a different subspecies from the canebrake rattlers down in the flatlands.
