The largest North American snake is the Eastern Diamondback and a big one will kill you.

I have a good opinion of rattlesnakes. They are the only venomous snake that gives large animals and dumb people a warning before it bites their stupid a** and sends them to the other side.

I had a pet rattlesnake about 12 years ago.

I called him “Shapka.”

We have Timber Rattlers in the South the size of Python’s. They are so strong that a strike on your leg by a big one can break your leg.

I appreciate the rattlesnake's job of eating vermin.

That being said, the rattlers that decide to curl up on my porch or under my truck are trespassers, and are treated as such.

We have plenty of timber rattlers here in VA, he can come take some of ours to repopulate New England.
Wouldn’t bother me a bit.

I have encountered rattlesnakes in my work as a orchard field man. They have always given the rattle as a warning. I just agreed to move out of their way. Usually they then slithered off and I was happy to let them.

I’m assuming this is what is called a “chevron rattler” in the south. They are huge here. I’ve seen plenty of 6ft+ ones. Not as aggressive as a diamondback but every bit as deadly, I have walked very close to them and had them coil up and NOT RATTLE!

They’re alive and well, thriving and protected in New York State.
