Pennsylvania Rattler Curiosity
« on: June 12, 2005, 11:20:33 AM »
What kind of rattlers are encountered  in Pennsylvania?  Any eastern diamondbacks.   I lived outside of Pittsburgh when I was small,  saw a lot more snakes there than here in norther New York.

In far  northern NY last fall, near canada,  l  I saw a garter snake crawling around even though there were patches of  snow on the ground,  that was a genuine surprise.

The Timber Rattler is most common and quite active this time of year. I never seen an Eastern Diamondback.
