Friend at work brought this one in. Seems it was trying to go into his shop building.

That's a 6 foot wall that the board is leaning against. Measures over 5 feet without the head.

I believe that they measure that one as 5 rattles and a button. What would this 13 rattles and a button killed by another friend look like?

I have a Timber Rattler Skin which I believe has 13 rattles. Grandpa killed it back in the 60's in Wisconsin. It measures between 5 and 6 feet.

Well, I wouldn't say they taste like chicken, more like iguana. [:)] That was a nice big female. A kid from down the road killed an 8 ft female at the edge of my driveway and all she had was 13 and a button. Plenty of field rats and marsh rabbits to keep them fat around here.

Rattlers don't come around as often as they used to. I have cats and snakes stay away from cat inhabited areas. Something to do with cat excrement.

Here is one I came across awhile ago. They can blend in to the area they are in!

Hey Cap, How could you tell that that was a female? I don't take the time to say Howdy Mam, or is it Sir? If they come in the yard, they answer to the tune of a 12 ga. Remington 1100. I can see where the cat urine would work. Sulphur is good and also mothballs. I think that it has something to do with their skin being very sensetive to certain chemicals. They also taste the air with their tongues, and this might mess up their sense of smell/taste.

Doug, is that a pigmy rattler? Looks like he is puffing to make himself larger.
