Reiseguide

A large adult timber rattler climbing up to the den opening. If you look closely you can see another adult timber rattlesnake just to the upper left above the head of the climbing snake in a crevice. I was about 20 feet away sitting on a rock observing the den so the climbing snake was not trying to escape or get away he was just heading back to his home. They have the ability to climb almost vertical surfaces.

The largest timber rattlesnake I have ever seen is pictured. The snake was basking in the sun on a beautiful day. This large male had just shed and was so colorful I spotted it from a long way off. It immediately started to rattle when I approached so I took a couple of shots and left it alone. This snake was 55 - 60 inches long and as thick as a firehose.
 A yellow phase timber rattler blending in well with the native surroundings. I wonder how many of these I have walked past without even knowing they were there? They do blend in well with the environment.
An Eastern Hognose Snake that looks like a hooded cobra but is actually a harmless snake that eats toads. They have a strange coping mechanism for dealing with stress which is flipping over and playing dead. These snakes come in many different color variations. It gets even more confusing because we have Eastern and Western Hognose snakes in the same area.
