Get a closer look at the lives of rattlesnake mothers and babies by clicking the link to the video below: youtu.be/aaH_j2TRN9U Here's a sneak peek at some game cam footage of #Hope and her baby from 2016! @OSUEnvironment @Peterman_Lab @SnakeAdvocate @ohiodnr
Timber rattlesnakes use venom to kill their prey. This week, we've put together a video showcasing the hunting behavior of the snakes and habits of their prey! Check it out at the link below! @Peterman_Lab @OSUEnvironment @SnakeAdvocate youtu.be/wWniFOWUtl4
If you've ever wondered if rattlesnakes fight each other, check out this video showcasing an epic battle from 2018 between our study snake #Cricket and a new male! Still more videos to come later this month! @OSUEnvironment @SnakeAdvocate @Peterman_Lab youtu.be/PHMuomj3K-0

Why do Timber RATTLESNAKES FIGHT Each Other?
We are working on manuscripts that will hopefully contribute to the growing body of knowledge on Timber Rattlesnakes from our research! But outreach is also important so here is the first in a series of educational videos we are creating! @OSUEnvironment youtu.be/NhRITQXN7iM

The Hidden Lives of Timber Rattlesnakes
Happy #WorldSnakeDay all! We've been in hibernation due to Covid but we recently got out in the field for some final data collection. This video features some of that work and highlights that snakes are not mean, aggressive animals. #NoAggressiveSnake youtu.be/bV5UroqpuIk

The Timber Rattlesnake is NOT Aggressive!
#Jabba was out today to bid farewell to our 2019 field season! Next year we will be saying final goodbyes to all our study animals as we remove their transmitters and end the telemetry portion of our study. #SciComm @Peterman_Lab @OSUEnvironment
#Aureliano measured as our largest snake this Fall at about 4 feet, 9 inches. He is currently finishing up the digestion of one last big meal before he heads into his den!
As promised, this tweet is a tribute to #Suzan! We captured her 797 days ago on August 11th 2017. Not only did she contribute two full seasons of movement data, but also six healthy babies. The future is their’s now! #SciComm @NUNI49
#Suzan’s fight for survival has ended. After a rough postpartum year struggling to get meals, it appears she was picked off by a hawk half way back to her den. Sorry @NUNI49 but we will celebrate her life and contributions to our research soon in a special tweet! #SciComm
#Xavier was well camouflaged this morning. He was buried under dying grasses and leaves. While attempting to find him, I accidentally poked him with the stick. He came out to take a peek at me and went right back under!
#Cricket decided to climb into a small tree to evade his predators (us)! While Timbers aren’t really tree-dwellers, this particular snake tends to hangout around treefalls and has been seen on an elevated thorn patch 20 feet above a ravine! @OSUEnvironment @Peterman_Lab
We are headed to #TWS2019 tomorrow! Here is a peak at our poster. These are covariates used in models to predict snake condition/behavior based on various habitat measures. What kind of habitat do you think they like to hunt or shed in? #SciComm
We haven’t posted a video in awhile but here’s another behind the scenes look at what it’s like to track a rattlesnake (#Carissa in this case!) youtu.be/LnUfovwSyaY #SciComm @OSUEnvironment @Peterman_Lab

Using Radiotelemetry to find Timber Rattlesnakes in Southern Ohio
After four years of tracking rattlesnakes at our study site, truly surprising behaviors pop up less frequently, but #Skeate is hanging out under the bank of this stream bed and that’s a new one for me! #SciComm @OSUEnvironment @Peterman_Lab
#Carissa is doing a little hunting before heading to her den. She’s aimed right at this tree, what do you think she’s hungry for? #SciComm @OSUEnvironment @Peterman_Lab
Time for another #spotthesnake! #Bill was well camouflaged ambush hunting amongst the leaves! @OSUEnvironment @Peterman_Lab
