- For the past five years the DEC office in Bath, NY has been studying the local timber rattlesnake population. This year we began utilizing trail cameras and time lapse photography in order to document presence and absence at den sites. This is a time lapse video from one of our most productive dens. For more information about timber rattlesnakes, see our web page www.dec.ny.gov/...

Very nice time lapse video!! I was unaware of a den in Bath. About 8 years ago I had interviewed a person that was bitten north west of Watkins on Preemption rd . I didn't believe him that he was bitten in that location always thinking, that maybe he or a friend had a captive and lied about it to avoid prosecution. I work for animal control in a county of two active dens area. We field about 20 calls per year for "rattlesnakes" or "poisonous snakes". My Officers are trained to handle snake calls and our vehicles are equipped for safe handling of them.
I had no idea there's rattlesnakes in New York Southern tier
Fascinating to see their travel paths. Love it. Good stuff!
Glad the squirrel made an appearance, for the purposes of scale. Neat to watch, thanks.
Excellent footage! I have been searching to film a timber rattlesnake in western N.Y. I didn't know that they were this close to home until fairly recently. It's great to see concrete evidence of their existence in this region.
'Productive' isn't such a fitting word for modern day snake dens, particularly those guarded by the state. It was an old phrase for collectors and poachers who would return to 'productive' places to keep harvesting snakes from the wild. Heavily populated or active would be better! Just got a trail cam to do this with a historical copperhead den that remained a secret between several people for many years, along the the northern border of their range in New York. The site is sadly, very likely extirpated but I'm curious what else is going on around the area. Please keep doing these studies, and more protection for snakes!
Huge six footer getting diner!
Why do some of the snakes look like pythons?
that was a lucky squirrel and mouse that strolled through there!

How could you compare such a disgusting creature to a snake. Snakes are awesome!
Gray squirrel @00:57 has a bot fly larva on its flank. Poor thing.
Where abouts in the southern tier? I live in salamanca and have not seen one in 30years, although im not out looking for them either.
Is there any educational video available showing the public what one of these dens looks like?
Great time lapse. Thank you! Did you need to use time lapse (rather than motion-triggered images) because snakes are cold blooded creatures and the camera's PIR (passive infrared) depends on heat contrast? Thank you. I'm very interested.
Thanks for the positive feedback! You are correct-we did have some positive motion detection on some of the larger snakes, but most photos were captured through the 30-second time-lapse.
One hell of a timber rattler
Awesome
This is ridiculously cool. I have many questions!
+Gretchen Salm We have a web page about timber rattlesnakes in NY www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7147.html
If you are going to ask the location, I can't give you that. They are a protected species so we don't give out exact locations.
very awesome
Had no idea they were that far north
They have many other wildlife cams online Live streaming. You should start a web page & have a Live streaming cam so people can watch it online live. I'm sure you'd get some snake lovers watching. They have wildlife cams streaming live everything from fish to African Safari cam so why not snakes?
Very interesting! Did my eyes deceive me or did I see 1 or 2 baby snakes there with the adults?
The snakes in question were likely last year’s neonates, now first year juveniles. Timber rattlesnake are "communal denners,” meaning they all brumate together in through the winter in their natal den year after year.
How many estimated timbers you think den there?
Which camera did you use?
The camera used was the Reconyx Professional PC800 trail camera.
@@nysdecvideos Thanks. What time interval did you use?
"For the past five years the DEC office in Bath, NY has been studying the local timber rattlesnake population."... And it just dawned on you to start using trail cameras??? LMAO!!! That figures... I have seen the DMP allotments in areas with a 20:1 doe to buck ratio as "Low" or "PP Required". WMUs that have fawns being born at the end of July/beginning or August.... Makes complete sense...
All snakes are protected in NYS
Wow...it looks like the freaks DO come out at night...
Some nice hatbands in there.
WAS Fixing to GO TO DAMN BED!!!! sleeping in my RECLINER TONITE!!
Hey Squirrel, I hid some acorns in that hole over there. Go take a look, you can have them all.
Is that the residents of Andrew Cuomo.
Why do righties have trouble with spelling?
Snakes are beautiful animals! Politicians are disgusting parasites. Left or right they all suck
