Same ol’ same ol’.
Timber rattlesnakes are magnificent beasts, and yet they've almost been wiped out by the pathetic "do-gooders" frightened of their own shadow. This tiny population on this island may actually conserve this species. Maybe not. Frankly, I think it's too late for the timber rattlesnake. But at least this a logical, and somewhat practical attempt, to keep the species alive in the wild. I support this effort.
