Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus)
May 15th, 2021 5:00PM
High of 83 degrees Fahrenheit
78 degrees Fahrenheit at capture
Near the end of a long and mostly uneventful day of cruising dirt roads intersecting high quality longleaf pine habitat, we drove up on this young snake crossing the road and were thankful to have success. Much like the rattler cruised the previous day, this one was reluctant to rattle or strike, instead opting to retreat at every opportunity.
