I was a Forester for 40 yrs in Georgia and have came across some huge Easterns and canebreaks. I stepped 9n a 6 ft Eastern and he never rattled or struck me. I jumped 10 ft and walked on air another 10 ft! I've seen probably 100s in my 40 yrs and also many cottonmouths. I had rather encounter a diamondback than a cottonmouth. I had a cottonmouth chase me on land and had one hit me on leg of course I had leggings on. I was in woods one day and went to bend down to walk under limb about eye level when I realized that limb looked different and at about 2 ft away I was staring an Eastern in the face!! He was about 5 ft long stretched out on limb so be aware rattlesnakes climb!!!

The road was eight feet wide we thought it was a tree that had fell my Grandma asked me to get and try and move it. As I got closer to it I seen it wasn't a tree it was a rattlesnake I went to both sides of the road to see how much was in the ditch never seen the head or tail of it. My grandma asked me what's wrong as I came back to the jeep I told her that's not a tree it's a rattlesnake she said get in. We ran it over the head came up about four feet in the ditch on my side. I doubt we killed it cuz it was there when we came back. I'm guessing it was at least 13 feet or more cuz never seen the tail and about eight to ten inches in diameter.

all very impressive and beautiful, especially the batwing and black head bushmaster

This past July 7 I was visiting deep Creek hot Springs near Hesperia California. I laid down in the shade before I was going to hike out after cooling off. I thought a fly was buzzing my ankle and when I looked down it was a giant, 4 foot southern pacific rattlesnake. It wasn’t rattling and it seemed very curious. I swung my legs around quickly jumped back. The snake just slithered under a bush no worries at all. It still creeps me out to think that a giant rattlesnake put its head on my foot. Thankfully it didn’t feel threatened and actually it seemed friendly.

Some of them when they're crawling along the open ground they full on look like a skeleton of death haha with those white segments on their body and the big black skeleton eye markings behind their real eyes. 💀😂 And how they crawl in a straight line instead of zig-zag like a normal snake is creepy. They've got the ultimate "yeah best stay well clear of that thing" look. 😂 And with good reason. I've heard of them even piercing through their own bottom jaw with their fangs to clip their handlers. 😬

I've heard discussions that there are Timber Rattlesnakes in lower NY State that are so extremely large that folks have tried to reidentify these species as something other than just Timber Rattlers. Do you know anything about Timber Rattlesnakes in the area near the Civil War sawmill and iron mines of Sterling Forest near Tuxedo and Sloatsburg, NY? Some say they are a cross between Timbers and Eastern. I've personally seen several with the girth of a football and in the 6'-8' range. They look like regular Timbers, but are massive and I have no idea what they really are.

It's really simple, when you think about it. The availability of food, clean water and sufficient shelter. Look at Florida and it's invasive species problem. Those species thrive there because the area is not native to those species, but has abundant food sources and cover, and a hell of a lot of water.

The timber rattler that bit me was about three feet long. Of course I didn't measure it but it was about three feet. I got a good look at it. I stood very still and let him crawl away. I almost lost my leg.
