Hi

I don't know how many of you watch the "Sons of Guns" show (I think its on Discovery) but in the opening credits they have this Rattlesnake that strikes out at the camera. I was wondering if you guys know what rattler it is? I took a screenshot of the snake, hope the quality is good enough because the site won't allow me to upload a bigger image.

Looks like an Eastern Diamondback from this angle. Also, there are what appears to be swamp cypress in the background.

Yes that is C. adamanteus the Eastern Diamondback.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.
