It's Meet the Species Monday! This week's species is the timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus), also referred to as the canebrake rattlesnake in the southern US.
This large-bodied species of rattlesnake is found in a variety of habitats.
Most often it is found in hardwood hillsides, mountain valleys, forest edges, but southern populations may also occupy cypress swamps, barrier islands, and pine thickets. It is also highly variable across its range, with individuals coming in shades of black, tan, brown gray and even pinkish-lavender in parts of Georgia and Florida. Squirrels make up the majority of prey, especially in southeastern sections of their range, but they will target and eat a wide variety of mammalian prey, and even ground-nesting birds such as quail.
This species is particularly vulnerable to road development, as individuals are often killed crossing roads at dawn and dusk. In northern or montane populations, individuals that avoid roads often end up being cut-off from critical hunting habitat or hibernacula.
A subpopulation from lower South Carolina down into north-central Florida possess a potent neurotoxic venom which is considered similar in structure & lethality to the infamous Mojave toxin of their western sister-species, Crotalus scutalatus. However, they are quite passive, calm, and unlikely to strike.
Fun fact: Timber and canebrake rattlesnakes are one of only a handful of rattlesnake species with recorded arboreal (tree-climbing) behavior, and possibly the largest of any rattlesnake to do so.
