Timber Rattlesnake, Velvet Tail Style

Timber rattlesnakes are sometimes called ‘velvet tailed rattlesnakes’ by locals throughout their huge range. This one fits that description – perfectly polished scales with just a dusting of leaf dirt. It’s a shame I like having all of these fingers, because this one was hard not to touch.

Crotalus horridus
