The Eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) is the largest rattlesnake species and one of the largest vipers in the world. We always wanted to film this majestic venomous snake in the wild. Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes have long fangs and their toxic venom can kill a human. However, they will only be dangerous to people if they feel threatened. In 2022 we traveled to Florida and searched for deadly venomous rattlesnakes with our friend David Wojnowski. During our search for the main target species we found some other super cool snakes, like the Florida cottonmouth or the Eastern copperhead! Join us on the trail of the largest rattlesnake in the world! We filmed 11 species of snakes, so be ready for an adventure full of snake encounters!
