They are usually active between March through October, but depending on geographical location and warmer temperatures, can still be active on winter days. Timber Rattlesnakes give birth between August through late September to live young and can have as many as 14 young. They ares capable of living in the wild 12 years to as many as 30 years, and typically will den up or congregate during winter. Typical food sources of the Timber Rattlesnake can consist of small mammals, including squirrels, birds, amphibians, and even other snakes. Usually shedding its skin every year a new rattle segment will grow, or button on its rattle.
