This was a fantastic demonstration of how timid and inoffensive timber rattlesnakes can be, it was cool to see an entire video with a rattlesnake in which it didn't even rattle once. You did a great job showing off how beautiful that snake is, it is such a privilege to live in a state that has a species like that! - Harrison and Evan
I saw 4 timber rattlers last summer on my property down around story elkinsville area. I don’t even look for them either. Sometimes I think there might be to many of them. Or I might just be in the hot zone for em
I saw one in Dearborn county Indiana about 25 years ago. Nobody believed me for few years until it became know they were in Versailles State park which is pretty close to where I was in Dearborn County.
Nice presentation and find. I know those aren't very common in Indiana. We always follow snakes after we find them if they're on the move. Find it fascinating to see where they head. Cool vid!
Thanks, timbers are doing pretty well in this particular part of the state but are always hit or miss! I have been doing a lot more observing of snakes than catching over the last few years and am really enjoying the change.
My Grandpa told me when I was a little girl and like 80s or ninethe's Hernandez that helicopter slying over his land in Harrison County. He said that they were dropping timber rattlesnakes in the woods. We have almost 200 wooded acres . I thought he was messing with me. I don't understand how they say they are only in these certain places in Indiana. I know my mom X had one on his tractor seat just sunbathing. That was 10 years or so ago. How do they know these snakes didn't have babies and so on?
I'm not the creator bust most likely Brown Co. The other county highlighted in the video is (I'm almost positive) Perry Co. I live in Harrison, two counties east of Perry and they have been seen here (Harrison Co.). One of the local high schools has a timber skin in it's agriculture class. Back in the late 1980s someone killed a timber that was 39 inches long. Never seen one myself and don't want to!!!!
@@josephclark4999North Harrison school has or had a nature trail. I think I remember seeing that when I was a child. My grandpa said he watched them dropping timber rattlesnakes in our woods. We have almost 200 wooded acres. Our neighbors all have large acreage too. My moms X had a timber rattlesnakes on his tractor seat sun bathing like 10 years ago. They say they are only in Brown country but I know they are in Harrison and Crawford County.
Excellent. Turn Comments ON on the Ratsnake video. It's a great video, great camera work. We can all learn things from the comments.
Morgan Monroe state ground has a ton of them !!!
Timber rattlers have such a nice color and pattern
Couldn't agree more!
@@lifeunderfoot4805 Was that really the rattle sound from him at 2:02? Yikes! Shocked you were able to find one at all for this video. Great work.

It actually did rattle when it was moving away from them. U must have missed that.
Your videos are very calm and informative. I love them
Excellent video

This video made me happy.
Interesting. I never knew rattlesnakes were back East too.
Yes, there are actually a number of species found throughout the eastern U.S.

What area are you in? Just saw a 5 ft full grown male on the top of browning mountain
How long ago was this recorded? I was out trying to find one for the first time in roughly that area the other day.
Just last summer, they are around but not easy to find!
What county was this in?

I have seen them in Brown County. I always wear snake boots. The Copperheads are way more aggressive, and everywhere.
not true, copperheads aren’t aggressive just like humans if you step on them they will defend themselves
You're crazy for wearing shorts in these forests. Ticks are absolutely horrible in Hoosier National forest. And they just get worse year after year.
Snakes really don't want to interact with people!! They would much rather be left alone to do their thing!!💚👍💖🐍
Well said!
