Outstanding capture, Bob...they frighten me. We have them everywhere I live, yet I've never seen one...hope I never do. #9182709Karen Slagle January 22, 2011
Outstanding capture, Bob. I would not want to walk upon something like this...Creepy. #9184800Bob Cammarata January 23, 2011
Thanks everyone for your nice comments.Small island pockets of timber rattlesnakes can be typically found in the more remote wilds of the Appalachian Mountains. The population of these fascinating creatures is a mere fraction of what it once was. In many states they are listed as endangered (or threatened) so finding a nest of new-borns suggests a new beginning...a spark of hope for the future of the species.
