You and me both. We have some big non poisonous Black Racers at our RC Club flying field and they love to pop up out of the grass, hiss and then move away. The biggest one we named Willy and he did do a good job around the shed with the mice.

2 sunny days and they wiggle right out though . Seen em out in mid winter before here

That right there is what I believe to be an eastern diamond back. We don't see many of them in my neck of the woods. However the timber rattler's are pretty thick here. That one is the best kind by far

This snake is "crotalus atrox" in latin ,other wise known as a western diamondback . not near as large as an eastern and has a really serious case of bad attitude when encountered .
they max out around 6 feet long and the eastern can attain almost 8 ....eastern rattlers have become pretty rare from what I know
habitat destruction and the reduction of gopher tortoise populations are the main culprit from what I have heard .
we have a real healthy population of the western versions in lots of spots in Texas .
