Have any of you seen the results of one of these things biting other animals, dogs/cows/horses, even human beings and yes, they are very aggressive especially when they are in the molting stage, then they just strike blindly at every noise or movement. I was raised on a working ranch where we experienced this quite often.
Most animals actually handle their bites pretty well. Medium to larger sized dogs will get some swelling, but will usually live. Humans also rarely die from rattlesnake bites, as long as you get antivenom in reasonable time you should survive.
Timbers are not “aggressive “ snakes 😂they are actually thee most timid of the rattlesnake species. Didn’t you see how aggressive he got with this guy?🙄
Nolan has two "hybrid" rattlesnakes, which should not enter into any discussion regarding a particular species of rattlesnake. Placing two different species of rattlesnake together in close quarters in captivity resulting in a successful mating and reproduction of hybrid young does not equate, IMHO, a natural, normal breeding of either species. In all of my 50+ years of working with, catching, and studying our venomous snakes in the US, I have NEVER seen in the flesh, on film, or a photograph of a naturally occurring hybrid rattlesnake. If anyone has footage of a validated, wild caught hybrid, PLEASE send it to me so that I can amend this comment. I'm not trying to be a dick, but to state that he has bigger rattlesnakes without mentioning that they are hybrids does a disservice to any conversation regarding large rattlesnakes. Don't get me wrong, I have been a subscriber and fan of Tyler's for years (thinking about getting some ink done by him) and have great respect for the work he does on his channel.
Thanks for sharing this snake with us. I wasn’t aware that re locating them was so difficult.I don’t usually kill snakes. I do kill venomous snakes in my yard. We have several kids and grandkids and it’s not worth taking the chance.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! This was a rare instance where there was small children around and we could legally dispatch and make use of the snake.
Metal hook on metal barrels! The vibrations of me tapping the barrels would absolutely make the snake rattle. Wouldn’t necessarily “hear it” though. You are correct!
Would be helpful if you would give the type of snake and location in the title or information below, for those who are looking for information on specific snakes. Yes, canebrake or timber rattler.
Yes big snake, years ago I caught one that was 60 inches long and 8 inches around at my mailbox, I kept him in a cage for about two months I found him dead one morning I never could get him to eat. They tend to travel about 20 yds wide migratory path each year so this snake would have been back the following year an travel 1 to 3 miles from their den depending on if it was male or female. He would have to had taken it to a different den location in the fall for it to have a chance to survive. I don't catch them or put them in cages anymore since one got out an bit me it is also illegal to have them or kill them in the state I live in, hope this was helpful.
No Snakes were harmed in this Video or will ever be Harmed as long as we all know who won't let because he promised a young lady but goddammit stop what's happen to him nobody really knows how bad it's been for him
@@Edward-id6dnTimber/Canebrake rattlesnake has different colors depending on the environment and the elevations in Mountain ranges the higher up the darker the colors so they can warm up easier.
unfortunately timbers can’t be relocated, sure you can relocate them. But that doesn’t mean come winter they’ll die. All organized snake hunts in PA (put on by the Keystone Reptile Club) you have to return the snake to exactly where you found it for this exact reason.
that is an old snake, I agree about eating that one it can not stay there with kids around, everyone has a different way but I marinate them in soy sauce for 2 days in the fridge, the bones just pull out easy, yes a bit salty but that is what I like
Timber Rattlesnakes come in 2 color variations. Some are dark phase (black) and some are light phase (yellow). It’s just the color of their skin/scales/eyes. We have a lot of videos of both phases on our channel!
that was the thoughts of the family, and we had the means to do it legally and ethically. If this snake was far from homes and children, we would’ve viewed the situation much differently.
Why does Pa have such large nos of Timber rattlesnakes? In my home state of NC even with protection laws the common belief is the only good snake is a dead snake. Please dont hammer me as I dont kill any snakes rather let others know rattlesnakes here are endangered , let them live.
That’s actually a great question! They are very strictly monitored and protected here in PA aswell. As far as the numbers go, the only thing I can think of would be habitat. There are areas in PA of thousands of acres, often times you can go miles without hitting an asphalt road in some of the areas we hunt. A lot of the places that they live humans would never venture unless you were actively looking for them. But yeah, we do have a super healthy population!
@@TailsandScales101 Thanks for reply. I've seen numerous videos by people hunting them or herpers looking and saw all were Pa. Then the restrictions, sex , length and seasons. Here that doesn't happen as even protected but not enforced on private land. State or Fed owned land illegal to kill or molest. 99 % of the residents will kill or attemp to on sight. Not sure on theat , lol but very few that like myself once located feel fortunate to see one. I say once located, no one wants to see any venomous snake below your foot walking. NC highest population I'd guess would be piedmont with Rocky hills simaler to PA. Are the rattlers taken for food or for other reasons. I'd love to see a car of herpers pull into our country stores / stations to ask about hunting rattlesnakes. Lol. Thanks again , enjoyed your vid. Here's a sub.
Timbers always seem to have black tails! If you look at any of our other videos, you’ll see almost all of the snakes we catch have black back near their rattles!
@@TailsandScales101 I would not want it around any adults, let alone any children. But I will say that it was rather chill for a rattlesnake in the open such as it was. I love the creatures but they have just way to long of teeth. I look for large rat snakes or other nonvenomous snakes that can almost certainly overpower and kill snakes like copperhead and rattlesnake. But I've not had any problems from venomous snakes in quite a long time. I know that we will always have snakes around, but I can kind of put the odds in my favor.
Awe i would of relocated this snake .you say they can die,well why not just relocate it and give it a chance rather than kill this beautiful snake.so sad.
correct. If Timber Rattlesnakes aren’t released very close to where they are caught they have a very high mortality rate. In PA it’s actually illegal for me to tag this snake and release away from where I caught it.
Age has nothing to do with it, snakes are play an important role in controlling pest. If people killed a venomous snake every time they saw one then they would become endangered thus making it very hard to collect enough venom for the purpose of creating antivenom should a person be bitten.
@@Kick-b9m why not what kill it? What did that poor snake do to you? I work with venomous species, not just snak s either. Spider's, scorpions, among other thing's. The Antivenom process is fascinating. I've been bitten twice by copperheads, four times at once by A black widow spider which resulted in being put on life support and completely paralyzed for month's. I was bitten by a large Timber rattlesnake, heck I was even attacked by a rabid fox and stayed months in the hospital . I had to have full series of rabies shots in my tummy for 28 straight day's due to complications from Rabies. Very few people survive . I was lucky. Even after all that I don't seek to kill every venomous critter I see. Next time you see a venomous critter stop and thank it for not going out of its way to attack you! Simply walk away very slowly and you both live another day.
This is a male snake. In PA they have to be males and you’re allowed to kill 1 a year with the proper permits. Rattlesnakes need to have 21+ subcaudal scales to be considered a male. This one has 26.
Understood! Like I’ve stated in the past, we handle hundreds of rattlesnakes a year and don’t kill any. This was a rare situation. Timber Rattlesnakes can not be relocated due to not being able to find a den location, and this being found at a family’s home with small children wasn’t a risk they were willing to take. Appreciate the comment and the honesty. Thank you for watching.
Yeah that's what I say that snake is an amazing representation of the species so why on earth would you kill such an amazing snake just to make a video I would unsubscribe to you if you did that.
Me three. It is without any conscience that you would kill such a large and one of a kind animal. No reasons are good enough - at least if you relocated it, it would have had a fighting chance. You will note that on the video we saw, it never struck at you.
I fully agree with you, we handle hundreds of rattlesnakes a year and normally don’t kill a single one. This is a rare instance of this snake being around a family’s children, and not being able to be relocated.

They don't get much bigger than that male CANEBRAKE , Beautiful snake
That's one of the biggest canebrakes I've ever seen .
Beautiful!....thanks for showing it to us.
Glad you enjoyed it

Yes,but the pain, expenses, not to mention their venom breaks down humans flesh...
Timbers are not “aggressive “ snakes 😂they are actually thee most timid of the rattlesnake species. Didn’t you see how aggressive he got with this guy?🙄
Looks like a Timber Rattler like we have in Missouri. They're shy dont wanna be bothered and will bite if provoked.
Absolutely! That’s a great way to describe them.
Awesome! I believe a large timber rattler. Could be a canebreak. Hope he relocated it.
I thank they're called either here in Virginia, but that thing is awesome.
Are they not the same species?
This is a timber rattlesnake!
We just have timber rattlesnakes in PA. No canebrakes.
Depends if they're in the north or south. Same species either way, just different coloring & markings.
Absolute Monster. What state?
This is in PA!
Very nice. It's been a long time since I saw a Timber that Big. Good going.
Thank you! This was the largest we’ve ever found!
That’s a tank!
Agreed! It’s the biggest rattlesnake I’ve ever encountered!
Ive seen bigger...Tyler Nolan has 2 beauties named Batman and Robin.....Thanks for sharing your Video....
I love Tyler’s videos! His pet rattlesnakes are huge!

obviously, your mom never taught you NOT to play with snakes...................THIS is EXACTLY what a 410 w/ rat shot is made for
my mother unfortunately did not teach me that lol
Dude you are so brave I would have passed out😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Did you kill it?

“If I tap on these drums he’ll start rattling…”
Dude. They can’t hear you.

Snakes can't hear they feel vibration, some sense heat like pit vipers rattle snakes,are a part of that viper family
@@kennydaiker1980 Snakes have internal ears they can hear about like humans wearing ear plugs.

This is a timber rattlesnake! We don’t have Canebrakes in PA.
@@TailsandScales101 We sure do in Arkansas! BTY, I don't harm them. I only relocate them but not too far away.
Have you ever been bitten before?
I’ve never been bitten, although they definitely try. I actually just uploaded a video last week of one striking at me.

Early 80'S , Southern Indiana had bigger ones
Such a beautiful snake!!!
It really was! One of the best looking Timber Rattlensnakes that I’ve ever seen!
That's a timber rattlesnake, right?
correct! Yellow Phase Timber Rattlesnake.
Good eating
We’re going to cook it and eat it in an upcoming video! I’ve never tried it before. I’m curious on the taste!
Is that a Timber Rattlesnake?
Yes! Yellow Phase Timber Rattlesnake.
@@TailsandScales101 what does Yellow Phase mean?

Did you Kill that Snake? If not please don't he is an old Gentleman and he only wants to live like all of us!!!
LET GO OF ME HUMAN!
Cool
Thanks!
It could have been relocated. Im 13 and i relocate timbers and copperheads. It didnt have to die.
