On Florida's Maritime Islands: Diamond Back Rattlesnake fascinating facts! 

Just a few yards from the beach front on Florida's west coast maritime islands you can find a relative abundance of Diamondback Rattlesnakes much to the dismay of many beach goers! This is the largest venomous snake, the largest rattlesnake, and the most venomous snake in America. They are easily identified by their large diamond markings on their back and of course their rattle. In this episode you will learn how to recognize or identify an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) and learn where they are found. This one was found at Honeymoon Beach State Park on the west coast of Florida near Tampa Bay.
