| Eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) is a species of pit viper in the family Viperidae. Endemic to the Southeastern United States, it is one of the heaviest venomous snakes in the Americas and the largest rattlesnake. The color pattern consists of a brownish, brownish-yellow, brownish-gray or olive ground color, overlaid with a series of dark brown to black diamonds with slightly lighter centers. The rattle at the end of their tail is made of hard, loosely attached, hollow segments which break off frequently and are completely replaced when the snake sheds |
