Canebrake Rattlesnake

-->
  • The canebreak rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) belongs to the venomous pitviper species found in the eastern United States. The snake is one of the most dangerous in North America dues to its long fangs and high venom yield.

    On March 24, 2008, a juvenile canebreak rattlesnake was discovered in the luggage of Andrew Bacas, a rowing coach on a team trip with his students to Summerton, South Carolina. After being bitten, Bacas called 911 and received hospital treatment while the Fire Department killed the snake.
