Rattling one’s tail is one way that snakes express their fear and make themselves appear threatening to predators. This is NOT a technique solely used by rattlesnakes! We often get calls from people who believe they are dealing with a rattlesnake because the animal was “rattling its tail” at them. In the vast majority of cases, the finder is dealing with an eastern ratsnake. We have never had one of these cases actually turn out to be a Timber Rattlesnake, the only rattlesnake in our area.

A reminder from your friendly neighborhood Eastern Ratsnake: Don't forget to stay hydrated and beautiful! ✨ Don't "NOPE" this sweet patient! It's hard to dislike these misunderstood animals when watching them peacefully sip water here at our center. While they may not be everyone's favorite, all good naturalists appreciate the important work that all snakes--even the venomous ones!--do as both predator and prey in our ecosystem.
