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 large adult timber rattlesnake sunning in some tall grass that picked up its head for a better look at me which is the only reason I spotted it. I rarely see this behavior as timber rattlers would rather remain silent, still and out of sight. This one seemed to be guarding something so I took a few shots and retreated.
 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.

The property is well maintained. There was a ton of room for the five of us. The home is like brand new and so well cared for. The hot tub was perfect; warm, clean, and roomy. It was close enough to town to get there for shopping and meals, but far enough to be secluded.
