ID#: 25010
Caption:
This image depicted a subdued timber rattlesnake, Crotalus horridus, highlighting the venomous snake’s markings. The dorsal pattern is best characterized as a series of black chevrons, and the caudal body and tail, which are visible here, are almost invariably black, hence, in some areas, its local name is velvet tailed rattler. See PHIL 25008 and 25009, for other views of this reptile.
