Out riding the motorcycle and saw him.. he was fresh.. maybe the one at work wasn’t a canebrake.. it wasn’t a diamondback for sure.. it was gray with with black markings.. which ones are like that?

See this little one I'm holding. It's faint but you can see the stripe running down the center of the back.

This one didn't want to be held. The stripe is much easier to see, and it has the pinkish hue.

Disclaimer: That little one was frozen btw...

So from that article, canebrakes and timbers are the same...just depends on who is calling it what...if you closer you can see the stripe down the back..or at least i think i can see it

They are except "The rusty stripe distinguishes a canebrake from a common timber rattler". Good up close pic on this page https://seaworld.org/animals/facts/reptiles/canebrake-rattlesnake/

Idk why anyone would be holding that thing.... I don’t mind holding snakes but not something that’s gonna kill me.
Killed this behind the house a couple weeks ago too. We better watch out in these parts BDR1
