They're on the move

Third timber rattler I've encountered this year. Two 5 footers and this little guy. Let one big one go, but took out the two that were on my property.

A five foot timber rattler is a really big one. The few I have run across around here have not been more than 3 ft. Those sneaky little ones are the ones that most concern me with the kids outside, especially the copperheads. With leaves falling, cannot be too careful this time of year.

I had to look back and it was actually a year ago that I killed the first one, he was no doubt about 5', but I didn't take an after pic. Was going to let him leave the end of the driveway, but the dogs wouldn't leave him alone and I knew I was in for a vet bill.

The other one was just a couple months or so ago, let him crawl away, didnt get a measurement, but he no doubt was in the 4-5 range.
