I'm not a snake expert or even a snake charmer, but in American forests I rely
(intensely) upon my 'instant Karma" to
negotiate bad beasts in the Woods. ;- )

A few years ago...I saw a timber rattler here in NC that was almost that dark. It was on the flanks of Unaka Mountain well above 4500 feet. If not for my wife hearing the slight buzz of its rattle (it had lost most of its rattles), there's a good possibility I'd have stepped on or near it.

Re: A few years ago...Both snakes are in the same Family of Pit Vipers ...
Interesting you should mention the Timber rattler ... makes me wonder how many people
actually "encountered" venonous snakes
during the Westward Expansion of the 1800's.
Sneaky Snake Fast Fact:
"Timber rattlers have a unique place in American history as well. It is the snake featured on early flags of the American Revolution, such as the "Don't Tread On Me" flag of the first Continental Navy."
