Timber rattlesnakes are my favorite species of rattlesnake. They are large and beautiful and relatively rare in my part of the country which adds to the appeal. I enjoy herping for timber rattlesnakes around Dallas. Dallas is a great place to go searching for reptiles and amphibians. There is a high diversity of snakes in the area. For DFW area herping you will want a good snake hook and snake tongs because of the venomous snakes. Herping is definitely one of the most enjoyable activities in the DFW area. Some of the most popular methods to herp are night driving, flipping and hiking. All can be productive at different times of year.
