    it's mostly like a normal timber rattlesnake, but if you dont know what a timber rattlesnake is, it is a type of rattlesnake or pit viper, that lives mainly in upland woods and mountain ridges of north America, and is mostly found along the Appalachian mountains. But a pacific one lives more higher in the mounts, along the cascade and rocky mounts, and is a common sight on the boarders of Oregon and California.

    I understand what a Pacific Rattler (both Northern and Southern) is and also a Timber Rattler but, they are not found even remotely close to each other in nature. Have you cross bred them to come up with a Pacific Timber Rattler?

    Ball python, because that's what we have, and I'm not 'comfortable' around snakes. The ones you are naming sound a bit scary to me. It takes a lot for me to hold our BP, and I am trying to get used to him. I am just not a snake person. But I love our Ball Python.

    Just FYI There is not such thing as a Pacific Timber Rattlesnake. In your area they MAY call them that, but they are in NO relation to Crotalus Horridus The Pacific Ratllesnake is Crotalus viridis, which has MANY different subspecies. The toxicty is COMPLETELY different

    Timber rattlesnakes range from the far north east and upper mid west and start thinning out in the southern us Including parts of TX, then the Canebrake Rattlesnake takes over to the southern tip of the US.

    Crotalus viridis Has one of the widest ranges from the mid west to the northwest and into Canada, all the way down to the Southwestern US and Mexico. There are MANY locality specific subspecies of Crotalus viridis.

    Wel My favorites.
    Western Hognose
    Boa Constrictors
    Amazon tree boas
    basin Emeralds
