Wildlife officers and trainees conducted a timber rattlesnake survey in Clearfield County. Timber rattlesnakes are native and are also venomous.
Many of the females are pregnant and emerging from their underground dens.
“Females have to have 8 to 10 hours of solar radiation a day to bake their babies, basically bring metabolism up to gestate the young,” Chris Urban with the PFBC said.
“They’re just out here trying to survive in their natural habitat and if you’re out hiking and come across one, they’re not out to hurt you,” Jenna Alleman, trainee, said. “They just want to protect themselves, so if you leave them alone, they’re going to leave you alone.
There are as many as 2,000 rattlesnakes in Pennsylvania.
Once captured, they’re checked for previous microchip tags or implanted with a new tag to help study their future growth.
