  • Very nice Crotalus horridus, "black velvet" phase of the timber or canebrake rattlesnake. Where on the parkway was this? I'll be sure to head there next time around for a chance to see one of these pretties.

  • This was soemwhere around milepost 25 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, not for south of Waynesboro VA, the northern end of the parkway. I posted a video response with a second video of it. I can see why they call it "velvet" phase...it was really beautiful. You can see pics of it at my bike trip journal crazyguyonabikedotcom/journal/­gerald

  • Mmm. I covet one of that color phgase for our exhibit, and I hold the appropriate permits to keep and exhibit this endangered species, but I won't take a healthy one out of the wild. I'll wait for a rehab case to come in, or a non-relocatable removal.

  • this is actually an endangered species...?

  • un-educated bitch ?????? Are Doctors "un-educated"?????? How can a man be a bitch?????? People who resort to name calling when someone disagrees with them don't seem to be very bright. If you play with a snake and get bit it's your own damn fault so don't think I will feel sorry for you.

  • snakegetters that is a terroristic theart your ass is in fucking jail when I find out who you are.

  • @snakegetters I know your comment is over 4 years old...but c'mon man. Around here we shoot those bastards all the time and you're welcome to come around anytime you want to and witness it, tough guy.

  • is that near kanas city

  • very nice, and very mean, very dead and hangin on outside of my barn if i see it on the outskirts of waynesville! BEAUTIFUL SPECIES!

  • I was all prepared to call it a cottonmouth (it's fat and dark like cottonmouths), but then I saw how it carried its tail erect. Looks like a timber rattler.

  • see that tail? the whole snake is one giant tail

  • Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeew!

    (I wish I'd taped the copperhead

    in my yard a few weeks ago.)

  • very true

  • haha that'd be cool to see one for the first time but i'm not afraid of snakes at all, but they are thev only thing that makes me scrream. [[it makes me laugh]]

    and i'd freak the fuck out seeing a rattlesnake!

  • i doubt that.. it would notice u way before u noticed it
