Timber!!!

Went out herping this morning specifically for Timber Rattlesnakes. Found a few, but not as many as I hoped.

Jet Black Dark Phase






Regular Dark Phase





Baby Yellow Phase w/ Fresh Shed - Can You Find The Head?

Re: Timber!!!

I'm not sure why they are different colors. I would have to think its to help soak up heat faster. It was cool this morning and the dark color phase were the ones we saw first. I didn't see the yellow phase until after 12:00. I'll take the variety though. Not quite in my backyard, it was a 7 mile hike today, but well worth it.

Re: Timber!!!

Thanks everyone. It was a pretty nice morning/afternoon out herping. Also saw a Black Racer, but it didn't sit still long enough for a pic.
