we have some rattlers around here, killed a 57" one while on the quad with my son, that was a while back and he was just around 6 years old, now we have quads again but damned if i can find that spot in the strips, everything is so grown up now, i ride there every time i go out, there ended up being 8 rattlers on that little hillside that day, and they all went into one den, there was a bigger one than the one i killed, prolly like 7 feet long, i was fukin with them with a LONG stick, they were striking at it and you could see the venom flyin thru the air, i made the boy get up on the blaster and stay there, but they are eastern diamondbacks not timber, i do think there may be some timber rattlers here in pa, but mostly eastern diamondbacks, ive seen and fooled with alotta snakes in my day, but never seen a hognose, pretty cool!!!!
