Thats so awesome, I am green with envy!!! Timber rattlers are one of my favorites, such an awesome animal. Glad he/she is in a safe yard, not one where it would be killed out of ignorance.

Re: Backyard Herping -- Timberback Rattler
Yes, it is a stunningly beautiful animal indeed. Both sightings caused much high drama though, first getting the dogs safely away and then scrambling to find/get the camera to work. Snake seems very aware and intentional too, doesn't lash out in a crazy manner, stays frozen and rattles and then hightails it out as soon as the immediate threats are removed (rattling while on the way out of the yard if an annoying somewhat non-threatening human is trying to snap photos).

Re: Backyard Herping -- Timberback Rattler
Hmmm.... I think it would be possible to kill a timber rattler in one's backyard out of something other than ignorance. Dogs do like to mess with herps once in a while. I would absolutely relocate it if it were my yard. I have a strict colubrid only policy! Originally Posted by Chondro788
