There are NO rattlesnakes in Indiana, huh? Obviously, this person is not well researched or educated in the field of herpetology. YES, Indiana does have rattlesnakes in the Southern third of the state,(including Brown County) and IN THE EXTREME NORTHWEST OF THE STATE, BOTH (CROTALUS HORRIDUS , a.k.a. the Timber or Canebrake rattlesnake, and( Sistrurus Catanatus), the Massassauga Rattler for the northern part of IN. I personally have seen and dispatched more than one Timber Rattler in my own in my yard in Kentucky in the last 2 years,(and saw a 4 foot one in captivity in the science and nature center in Brown county, IN) and the one in my yard was almost 5 feet long.(yes, Fangs, buttons plus rattles, the whole nine yards. They are rather abundant, actually, along with copperheads, and if you travel to southwestern KY to the land between the lakes, you will also encounter (Sistrurs miliarus), the Pygmy rattler as well as (Agkistrodon Piscivorous), the Water Moccassin, A.K.A. the Cottonmouth. My suggestion is, get some experience time in the field, and study the range maps in field guides before you open that uneducated manure valve below your nose, and have someone else following your science of ignorance.
