[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1264956, member: 23282"] It's a Canebrake rattler, a color phase of the Timber rattler. Rabbits are the preferred prey of Timber rattlers over much of their range. I think that they're amazing animals. I admit that I am glad that I don't have to worry the slightest about where I put my hands or where I step anywhere near where I live, since we don't have any venomous species here. That doesn't stop many of the ignorant locals from insisting that we do. Anything that lives in the water is automatically a water moccasin. Anything which rattles it's tail they automatically consider a rattlesnake. I went for years never finding a rattler in the wild in any of the places I searched where I visited where they were common, then finally got lucky within the last 5 years and have seen 5 species. Friends in the south have amusing tales of the surprises that they've found which fell on their heads from the barn rafters, or when they reached into a dark chicken nest without looking closely. If they only knew how lucky they were. [/QUOTE]
