Aren't those timber's nice looking? Fresh shed timber rattler's show off that yellow/black contrast best of all. I look from a distance beyond strike range to admire once inna while otherwise avoid since venom kills all type of cells.Anyone else have this problem???
Just a little timber rattler, but I know the diamondbacks are in there somewhere!!

Only cottonmouth I've seen was in creek 7 feet below the gravel road. It headed for hiding place in bank.
Copperheads aren't too bad...just can't see them!
I just mean the ones I've run into don't seem to be terribly aggressive. Neither do the timber rattlers, generally. The moccasins seem the meanest and least likely to retreat. I've stepped over a few copperheads, and they generally just lay there. In fairness, I usually see cottmouths in the summer, and run across the others during hunting season when they are lethargic.
