Video - Timber Rattlesnake survey in Virginia

Nice video. I didn't know that rattlesnakes were only found in the States. Learned something new. Thx.
 
Thanks for sharing that. I'm working with Timbers in SC and it is neat to see what other people are doing.
 
I don't think he meant just in the states really...think he meant the americas as a whole. There are two species not found in the states at all. Neotropical rattlesnake and Aruba Island rattlesnake. definately no other species of rattlesnake on other continents though. which I actually find pretty interesting.
 
Awesome!

That's a study definitely worth funding...glad someone's trynig to help before they become a species of severe concern..Awesome video!

More than that! Don't forget the Mexican West Coast Rattlesnake (Crotalus basiliscus) which is pretty much Mexican in distribution. And some people classify the Venezulean rattlesnake (Crotalus vergrandis) as its own species while others put it in the neotropical category (C. durissus vergrandis). There are quite a few rattlers in Central and South america but most of them fall in the neotropical classification.
 
Cool video! Thanks for sharing. There are some truly beautiful snakes out in the world. Hopefully all goes well for these snakes before the end up on the lists.
 
Great video. I love rattle snakes. I'm afraid though they will end up on protection lists. Betwwen habitat loss to urban sprawl, and the general publics borderline retarded attitude towards rattle snakes, heck most snakes in general, are in danger of being wiped out in some areas. My wife used to be afraid of ALL snakes becuase of her upbrining. I have helped educate her some, and now she has a different attitude for the better. Some people on the other hand just don't care and don't wanna hear it.

btw--I live in NC and the eastern diamondback is protected, at least here in NC.
