The Tri-State Big Three

Of course I live in what is called the tri-state area (TN, GA, AL) and my interest mostly lies in the snakes indigenous to this area. I wanted to test and see if this will allow me to post multiple pictures in this manner, so as I test I will display nice photos of the three large venomous species indigenous to my area. Thanks for bearing with me.

Crotalus horridus horridus. Female. 59” 6 pounds


Agkistrodon contortrix mokasen. Female. 43” 1.5 pounds


Agkistrodon p. piscivorus. Male. 44” 4 pounds

Bill, don’t get the impression you see snakes like these everyday. All three of these are exaggerated specimens, that are rarely encountered in the wild. The rattler and copper are LTC (over 5 years). The cotton however, was just recently collected. A very rare find!

Nice animals man! That Timber is real big! However, i think that cotton is alittle on the small size:-) HERS A BIG COTTON....


Tiny here measured just about 5 1/2 ft the last time I measurred him and has grown alittle since. Ive yet to weight him however.

Anyway, im always looking for an excuse to throw that picture in the mix:-) Whats the locality on that trapjaw of yours? A good freind of mine pulled a 6 fter off a highway in Florida last year. Now that thing was big!!!

Thanks for shareing,
Jeremy

Jeremy, very impressive specimen. I have seen them come from LA and FL over 5 feet before, but this “old boy” came out of north AL. He is the biggest I have ever seen from this far north. He is approximately 44”, maybe a touch longer as you know they are hard to measure. He weighted at 4 pounds the day we caught him. (had not eaten and defecated twice before we could scale him) Brain Smith has a female that scales at 8 pounds, but she is a LTC. I am thinking this one will scale at about 6 pounds by hibernation this year. Hopefully a little captive care and he will break 5 feet. That would be awesome. Did you collect that one? Where did that 6’ specimen you mentioned end up?

17730turtlegirl, fortunately I have never been bitten by a venomous snake. Most bites from captive venomous come from venom extractions and do not extract any of mine. The second leading cause is bagging, and I normally do not bag venomous. In 2004 I will be working at the Virginia Reptile Museum. Once we are up and going, we will be doing extractions for the public, then my chances will go up a little, but I am hopeful I will keep my prefect record in tack.
