Re: The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake
I thought rattlers were strictly ground dwelling?. But then again I know next to nothing about them

Re: The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake
I've heard stories of wild canebrakes climbing trees. I've never seen it happen though.

Re: The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake
We have to remember that the height that we normally give these snakes in captivity isn't much compared to the wild. Climbing a 2-3ft branch in a viv would be relatively similar to exploring normal terrain for these guys. Very cool, regardless.

Re: The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake
Think about a fallen tree that a snake would live in. There is anywhere from 4-9 ft of vertical space for that snake to inhabit regardless of whether it is terrestrial or not.

Re: The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake
Does he usually spend most of his time on the ground? Was he looking for a meal?

Re: The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake
My Timber Rattlesnakes love to climb on branches in their enclosure.

Re: The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake
He's all over the place lol. Sometimes he's on the branches other times he's on the ground.

Re: The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake
Depends on the snake. Like all snakes, the temperament differs from snake to snake.

Re: The Tree Climbing Rattlesnake
I think part of it is when people are looking for timbers they are checking rock crevices, downed trees, etc, rather than looking up. At least that's how I do it. They are easy to find in rock crevices in the summer (there were no communal dens where I searched for them, too far south, max we ever had in one den was 4-5 snakes). Having said that, I've probably seen more than a hundred in the wild and never noticed one in a tree which makes me wonder how many I walked past up in them lol
