Sunbathing Mamas - Timber Rattlesnakes and their Garter Snake BFFs!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a heartwarming scene straight from the Northeastern USA. Gravid female Timber Rattlesnakes are caught in the act of basking, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their young. But they're not alone! Amongst these venomous pitvipers, a brave Common Garter Snake named Thamnophis sirtalis fearlessly joins the party. These magnificent creatures are widely distributed throughout the eastern United States but face numerous challenges to their survival. With legal protection in only 8 out of 32 states where they occur, their populations have been declining due to habitat loss and direct persecution. Timber Rattlesnakes come in two color morphs - black and yellow - adding an extra touch of diversity to this already fascinating species. Female rattlers give birth to live litters every 3-5 years, with each brood consisting of 3-14 adorable little ones. Despite being venomous pitvipers, these rattlesnakes are known for their generally mild-mannered nature compared to other species. They rely heavily on rocky south-facing outcrops for basking since they are ectothermic (cold-blooded). So let's celebrate these sun-loving mamas and their unlikely friendship with our scaly friend Thamnophis sirtalis! Just remember that prints like this one by John Cancalosi are meant for personal display purposes only – no reproductions allowed!
