Timber Rattlesnake, (Crotalus horridus), is a species of venomous pit viper 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. This is to some degree offset by its relatively mild disposition. Before striking, they often do a good deal of preliminary rattling and feinting, shown in this photo. Cist (1845) described how he lived in western Pennsylvania for many years and that the species was quite common there, but in all that time he heard of only a single death resulting from its bite.

My timber rattlesnake. I can't stress enough about not handling venomous snakes without the proper training and experience, just because I'm tailing one doesn't mean you should to! I own this snake and know its personality, it is kept locked and secured in a Vision cage when not being handled or when maintenance is not being done in the cage.

Enjoy some vintage postcard photos. I’ve always been a huge fan of these.
