I am confused about what type snake I encountered yesterday in my yard...after I heard it rattle at my cat below my window. My house is by a creek and I live in the Anderson area of SC. I cannot find a picture of one just like it on any site. This snake had a slim rattle and was very aggressive... struck at my cat and when I was taking the picture it sat up and hissed at me and he was rattling. The pattern is diamond shape in some areas...and the head was sort of flat... I am positive of the rattle...and it is about 3 feet long. Can you PLEASE help me identify this snake...I am concerned it is a Diamondback and maybe a young one. Thank You kindly for all your help...
Sincerely,
Tammy Hamby
*I cannot add my pics...is there another way to send them to you for identification of this snake?
