Timber rattler from today
Nice little timber my brothers and I found while on the bike trail. This pic is after I moved it out of the middle of the trail using the handy collapsible snake hook I carry for this purpose. Sorry about the quality I took them with my Droid.

Looks possibly gravid unless that's just attitude.

Re: Timber rattler from today
It was huffing and puffing more than the big bad wolf  Didn't strike at all while I was moving it though.

Re: Timber rattler from today
From what I have Seen they are more bark than bight and want to be left alone. But pack a punch when need be.

Re: Timber rattler from today
Beautiful snake! That bulge could be lunch, gravid, or stress-inflation...no way to tell with one quick look? Funny how they never appreciate being moved off roads & such, LOL!

Re: Timber rattler from today
Judging by what I can see of the tail, this is a male snake.

Re: Timber rattler from today
Lucky you!
Where did you get a collapsable snake hook, and how small does it collapse?

I'll answer that for you. Petco, 7dollars, the size of a pen with a hook on the end. I found mine on the clearance rack thinking they would have something similar to vermiculite but all I found was an opened bag of imatation vermiculite and a snake hook by it. Score

Re: Timber rattler from today
Sounds like it would snap with little weight on it.

Try Midwest, (tongs.com), They have collapsable hooks and tongs that are made to handle the weight. They sell only professional quality products.
