King Crote

The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) is the largest rattlesnake in the world, with reports of them reaching over 8 feet long. This snake was my long-time nemesis. In over a half dozen trips down south with nothing but a lone DOR, I was on cloud nine after finally being able to come across not one, but two of these gorgeous creatures in the wild. Unfortunately, these snakes were found within a small park so we photographed them as found and moved on. I can't wait to see more of these impressive guys in the future!
