The canebrake rattlesnake, timber rattlesnake or banded rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus), is a species of venomous pit viper endemic to the eastern United States. During the winter, timber rattlesnakes brumate in dens, in limestone crevices, often together with copperheads and black rat snakes. Their prey are mainly small mammals, but may include small birds, frogs, other small animals, including other snakes. Although capable of consuming other rattlesnakes, the most common snake they prey upon are garter snakes. Female canebrake rattlers often bask in the sun before giving birth, in open rocky areas known as "basking knolls".
This is one of North America's most dangerous snakes, due to its long fangs, impressive size, and high venom yield. It is to some degree offset by its relatively mild disposition and long brumation period. Before striking, they often perform a good deal of preliminary rattling. Florida’s Venomous Snakes - Canebrake Rattlesnake was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in Florida in 2010. This stock footage is available at www.Ojatrovisuals.com.
