Are all of those timber rattlesnakes?


named according to location.

On the East ern part of Virginia Canebreakes and the Western (Appalachia) Timber Rattlesnake. Basically two of the same with the exception of ecosystems.

These where in the Western so Timber Rattlesnake.

Might be my favorite post of the snake threads. Timbers are awesome snakes (so it seems, safely tucked behind my desk on the interwebs).

Its got me confused... So is it a DBWS as the poster stated or a Cottonmouth?

If you get a little closer, you'll know when he opens his mouth and starts with the shakkkkky tale!

In all honesty, I'll leave it to the experts, but sure looks like a cotton mouth head to me...color is confusing and pics not clear

It does look like he's wearing mascara in those pics...

That's not really a mascara mark. It looks like some shadow effect and the angle at which the pic was taken. It is definitely a DBWS....

Fort Collins Co. Colorado state University foothills campus.

We get snakes, mule deer, bobcats, coyotes, and even some mountain lions.
I think there is one less mule deer out there that the snek ate as fat as he is.

We've been seeing tons of snakes lately at our place. We have a new coachwhip living in a hole under a faucet, and while I was looking at him, caught a baby checkered garter.

I can't tell from this angle. I may need to see it in person to ID it.

Yes. I saw those, so I guess it is a water snake, but it looks so light. I suck at these ID's!

It is a rattlesnake from the West or California. My guess is a Mohave rattlesnake.
