Small rattle snake found in my neighbor’s yard. His cat was toying with it! Being really stupid men we decided to take pictures of it! That means a macro setting and I am maybe three inches away from this guy! My neighbor kept a leaf’s shadow off the snake while I decided just how close I could get. Notice I did not take a in your face shot! He let it go back into the wild…

This image was captured in Jupiter, Florida / This is an Eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) it is a pitviper species found in the southeastern United States. It is also the heaviest and largest of venomous snake in the Americas and the largest rattlesnake. Specimens over 7 feet (213 cm) are rare, but well documented. The color pattern consists of a brownish, brownish yellow, brownish gray or olive ground color, overlaid with a series of 24-35 dark brown to black diamonds with slightly lighter centres. Each of these diamond-shaped blotches is outlined with a row of cream or yellowish scales. In proportion to its length, it has the longest fangs of any rattlesnake species. These snakes forage actively or lie in ambush for small mammals, especially rabbits and rice rats. Their diet also includes birds. Prey is struck and released, after which they follow the scent trail left by the dying prey.

Common names: timber rattlesnake, canebrake rattlesnake, banded rattlesnake. The Crotalus horridus is a species of venomous pitviper found in the eastern United States. This is the only rattlesnake species in most of the populous northeastern United States Potentially, this is one of North America’s most dangerous snakes, due to its long fangs, impressive size and high venom yield. Before striking, they often do a good deal of preliminary rattling and feinting. Canebrake rattlesnakes, are large, heavy bodied snakes with the characteristic rattles on the end of the tail. Adults range from 30-60 in (76-152 cm) with the record being more than 6 feet (183 cm) long. Canebrakes are usually gray and may even have a pink hue and a pinkish, yellow, orange, or brown stripe running the length of the back. Timber rattlers are typically more brown or yellowish and may even be black. Both forms have solid black tails that appear almost velvet and black chevrons on the back and sides with the point of the (V) pointing forward. The babies are miniatures of the adults but are usually a lighter gray and have only a single button (rattle) on the tip of the tail at birth. Males get larger than females. They have a wide distribution in the eastern United States but the species is absent from most of Florida. This snake occurs in a wide variety of terrestrial habitat including lowland cane thickets, high areas around swamps and river floodplains, hardwood and pine forests, mountainous areas, and rural habitats in farming areas. They typically become reduced in numbers in highly urbanized or areas of housing development. They become active above ground by late spring and can be seen periodically until the onset of cold weather in late fall. Canebrakes are active during both day and night but spend the majority of their time coiled in ambush positions ready to capture prey. Their prey is mainly small mammals, but may include small birds, frogs, or other snakes. Although capable of consuming other rattlesnakes, the most common snakes they eat are garter snakes. These rattlesnakes hibernate during cold weather. Timber rattlers congregate in dens in mountainous areas whereas canebrakes often overwinter alone in stump holes or beneath ground cover. They eat mostly small rodents when young, and large individuals kill and eat squirrels and rabbits. Females usually do not reach maturity until at least 5 years old and typically wait at least 2 or 3 years between litters. The live young are born in late summer or early fall around the time that courtship and mating occurs. Large male canebrake rattlesnakes are often seen in late summer or early fall in search of mates. Although reaching large sizes, most individuals are docile when encountered in the wild and often will remain coiled or stretched out without moving. If threatened, however, they will not hesitate to deliver a serious bite.
