Where was it? Here in central tx? I'm not sure what kind of rattlers are here.

Do eastern Diamondbacks make it into the NE and E Texas river bottoms? Or is that mostly going to be timber rattlers there?

You or ZooGuy probably have the credentials to pen something educational for this thread. Not trying to volunteer y'all, just think it would be of value for those that check out this thread.
