It was a rattlesnake

[BDR1]

I know it was a RATTLESNAKE AND I KNOW ITS DEAD.. but what kind is it? I cut the rattles off .. 5 rattles and a button

If this is in wrong place, please put where it needs to be.. I didn’t see a SNAKE ID FORUM

I’ve never skinned and ate one.. but the next time I find one I’ll save it and maybe we can eat him together if your interested.. had one Thursday outside our other work building that they let get away.. CANEBRAKE I think it was.. I saw the picture of it. It was huge.. gray and black.. said it was close to 5 ft they thought..

Looks like a Timber to me as well. Canebrakes are usually more pinkish or greysih with a yellow/brown stripe going down the back. I always look for the stripe.
