   Thanks for posting. Unfortunately, posting specific locations to observe herps on a public forum is strictly taboo for several reasons.
   However, I would tell you that you would definitely have to travel to Pennsylvania's ridge and valley area to the north where their habitat begins to be available.

   yeah totally makes sense.

   well i finally saw a nice timber rattler today!!! hung out with her for about an hour until she slowly slithered away under a rock. amazing!

   spotted her about 20 miles north of lancaster county.

   Use an online storage site like photobucket.com. Then just copy and paste the IMG url. Look forward to seeing pics.
