ive seen a few of these in California Tracy. The western Diamondback and wow do they make that noise in the bushes. I ride dirt bikes over there so thats a common occurrence, I do not mess with them I ride on trails and do not make my own trails to hurt them. Thank god for thick boots just encase :)
I have observed a great deal of regional variance in the striping and patterns of timber rattlers. In the North Alabama mountains the dorsal stripe is lighter-almost yellow.
I came across one of these in the TN Smokies, and I was pretty close before I saw it. He didn't become agitated until I prodded him to move out of my way. Not aggressive like the eastern rattler. Good video, brother.

Good work Brandon. I've got some Timber vids posted also. We have
Ttimbers up here(MN,WI,IA) associated with the Mississippi River and tributaries. WI still has a fair number of Massasauga Rattlesnakes. I need to vid some of those. Keep on herpin. I'm really not a doctor.
Where I live there's only Timber rattlesnake's, They're not "Common", Or "Uncommon". Once I was walking in the woods, And stumbled into one. It gave me a warning though and rattled.
@paintman557 HELL YEA!!!.... thats exactly what i was thinking bud!!!! my 12 gauge moseburg pump!! would be geting some use the day i ran across that bitch!!!!
@jarostone Why would you do that in it's own natural environment? Maybe if it was in your yard, I could understand, not in the forest away from homes?
I've heard of cane break rattlers. Is it true that they can grow to enormous size like the size of a boa or a small python or is that just a legend? Nice videos!
Brandon, it's really cool that you have a hobby you enjoy so much. And you're obviously well educated on the snakes you catch, and that just shows you're level of seriousness.... Just please be careful little bro.
@xxxHERPERxxx yeah I can understand that, and I don't mean to come off like an asshole like some people on the internet do, but I think that delicate situations should be handled a little more carefully, because no matter how much you know about animals, they are still animals, which means they can go from docile to vicious in like .2 seconds lol
Where did you get the pole your using..cant remember what there called..I am interested in getting one...I've been studying snakes for a long time...If you can help, thanks.
i was bitten by a baby canebreak i was the first thing it ever bite .near amputation the doctors had to cut me open wrist to elbow and wrist to armpit i cant begin to tell you how painful it was.i could be wrong but relocating them from there range is not always good but habitat destruction is getting to be a very bad problem if that is what you did beautiful snake man not trying to accuse or anything been dealing with canes for years somtimes its relocate or property owner will kill what to do
@MidgetDances Not really. A rattler out in the middle of no where isn't going to harm someone. Unless someone isn't being smart. I understand why people do it when they find them in there neighborhood. And torturing them doesn't protect families in any scenario.
@ColubridCreationsTV a gun doesnt torture shit it kills it quick and usually when we kill em either we eat em or give em to someone else n they eat em so they dont go to waste
i find Timber Rattlesnakes around here a lot. here along the Pee Dee River and the Uhwarrie Mountains we also have quite a few Eastern Diamondbacks. i've seen a couple of them that honestly had to be close to 8 feet in length! i had a friend kill one in his backyard that was over 6 feet long. He had the skin mounted but for whatever reason he left the mount outside under his garage and the skin rotted away.
I like your videos, man....Kind of Steve Irwin like...in the good information you give and the fact that you don't really agitate them too badly and let them be on their way. Steve Irwin completely changed my views on animals...especially snakes..they serve a great purpose...kudos to you for understanding this and bringing valuable education to future generations.
these are the coolest looking rattlesnakes in my opinion . there common here in ky to i just want to ask do you have someone with you while your searching
Holy crap! When you panned the camera over to the snake, i saw the lower body but i did not see to head haha. I would have been done for for sure! Nice find!
I live in South Louisiana, been here all my life for 26 years. Saw 1 last year, it got away. Brother killed 1 yesterday evening at 7:50 pm. 8 rattlers and a button. WHERE DO THESE SNAKES LIKE TO HIBERNATE? I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD COME DOWN HERE AND DO SOME STUDIES. MORE AND MORE ARE BEING SEEN EVERY YEAR HERE, BUT JUST IN A "SMALL" AREA AND I WOULD SURE LIKE TO FIND OUT WHY. IS THERE ANYONE I CAN CONTACT WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO COME DOWN HERE FOR A "RATTLESNAKE ROUNDUP" AND DO SOME RESEARCH??
@231MasseyFerguson Chances are, these Rattlers were there long before you or anyone else was. They are excellent at staying hidden from view and are very elusive. Why would you speak of negativity such as a Rattlesnake round-up? They are nothing but horrific.
@Lepisosteid Negativity?? Where I live, we kill venomous snakes. Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouths, and Copperheads. Those are the ONLY snakes that I personally do not like because their bite could be deadly. Alot of folks around here kill ANY snake they see. I'm not like that and dis agree with it. Heck, I even have a Speckled King Snake and a "Black Runner" (what we call) living in my tractor shed. I don't dare mess with them because they'll keep rats from eating up the wiring harness on the tractor.
@231MasseyFerguson Yes!! Negativity!! Do you not realize for every snake you kill that is making the diseased rodent population increase and that Rattlers, Cottons, and Copperheads are just like any other snake. The only difference is, they have a more Efficient method of subduing their prey which happens to be the venom you guys are afraid of. They aren't blood thirsty manics that chase you...
@Lepisosteid As for the "Rattlesnake Roundup", what I mean by that is if somebody wants to come and see if we can find these snakes and see why they're only in the location that they're SEEN in, then that person can take the live snakes back with them and re-locate them far away from here . There's not a problem with that. BUT, If I keep the snakes they won't live long. We can't stand them around here.
wow. really pretty snake. ive seen a few of your videos and had no idea there were that many types of snakes in the carolinas. ive been handling snakes all my life but im only 14 but u have some nice vids. keep em comin
badass vid.....i love studying snakes.....the only rattlers that r in washington r the prairie(western) rattlers n they r awesome 2 find thats cool man keep the vids up
insted of letting it bite your bag jut take a lighter and heat up (not to long) part of your snake snatcher. the snake will pick it up in seconds with it's pit glands and strike! it really works i have tried it!
we find snakes all the time on my 4 acres. the best was a bright green grass snake. it had a faint irredescent blue line down the sides. my son wanted to keep her so bad! but i made him put it back.
Unreal my friend. That is such a badass rattlesnake. I can't believe how well you've been doing this year. I don't think anyone in the whole country has done as well as you this year. Sick snake - sick vid
Wow thanks alot man! They definatly are a cool species. You know what species I want the most? A Black tailed Rattlesnake, I've been wanting to see one in the wild since the first time I heard about them.
I really think I am learning more about the habits of species which is how I managed to find more than last year.
Could be? I never really looked to closey, but seeing how it was out in the heat like that I was thinking gravid female. That's my opinion though. That cool they range all the way out into Oklahoma!
Good job with the narration. Looks like you were alone out there. I like your non-threatening approach, though i wouldn't recommend any inexperienced onlookers to get as close as you did. Pretty cool.
Thanks man, there was no reason to mess with her, especially since she was gravid. I put her in the container to move her off in the woods a ways so she wouldnt wonder into someones back yard and get killed.
dude, your amazing at what you do. looks like so much fun man, but my opinion which youve prolly heard befroe is you should have someone with you in case you do get bit, or have a phone. it would suck to not be able to see your vids anymore home boy lol
Basically, the Canebrake is sometimes considered a seperate subspecies (Crotalus horridus atricaudatus). The venom differs from Timbers as well, it has more neurotoxins. Basically the Canebrake is the southern phase of the timber. Although some people would disagree.
I would have JIZZED in my pants if I saw that. i've been hoping to catch a rattesnake for about 4 years. I have caught dozens of Agkistrodons, and hundreds of colubrids, but not crotalus, or micrurus, not YET at least. They don't live near Baton Rouge louisiana, but when I start driving, my parents won't be able to stop me from catching rattlers.
But, uhhh, great vid and thanks for sharing, PEACE!!!!!
Oh, sorry. I thought you were smetlogik's son. I thought he said in one of his videos that Brandon was his sons name, so I thought that was you. I must've got confused. Sorry.
I would also like to add brandon that some of my family lives in greensboro, nc and I have seen copperheads in their yard. Most have been sadly killed by my family there though. : (
A week or so ago, I was up at Chilhowee mountain (in Tennessee) and I was riding my bike on a trail and I came about half an inch from running over a timber rattle snakes tail. It was a juvenile and it was so beautiful. It could have easily bitten me but it didn't and it didn't even rattle when a bunch of people were standing around it. Just thought I'd share that. Lol.
Dude kudos to you! Now that u handled the canebrakes move on the the eastern diamondbacks! I would love to see a vid of you w/ one im sure u have the balls to do it... Good Luck !!!

I know right? People are naturally self centered. So in turn they believe they rain supreme and can destroy everything.

I would have JIZZED in my pants if I saw that. i've been hoping to catch a rattesnake for about 4 years. I have caught dozens of Agkistrodons, and hundreds of colubrids, but not crotalus, or micrurus, not YET at least. They don't live near Baton Rouge louisiana, but when I start driving, my parents won't be able to stop me from catching rattlers.
But, uhhh, great vid and thanks for sharing, PEACE!!!!!

And Wayne isnt my father, he is a friend. When did I ever say he was my dad?
xxxHERPERxxx 2 years ago
Oh, sorry. I thought you were smetlogik's son. I thought he said in one of his videos that Brandon was his sons name, so I thought that was you. I must've got confused. Sorry.

A week or so ago, I was up at Chilhowee mountain (in Tennessee) and I was riding my bike on a trail and I came about half an inch from running over a timber rattle snakes tail. It was a juvenile and it was so beautiful. It could have easily bitten me but it didn't and it didn't even rattle when a bunch of people were standing around it. Just thought I'd share that. Lol.
