Overview: This is the Canebrake Rattlesnake. Though I consider this the most dangerous snake in the state, that's merely just a comparison to the other snake's native to Louisiana. The truth is, there's no such thing as a dangerous snake when they're left alone. Like any rattlesnake, they do everything they can to avoid an interaction with humans. I went out looking for this species multiple times when I visited and never had any luck. So, seeing this was something I'll never forget. I never expected that I'd see a rattlesnake so big either.
