Same thing
Yes!!
A canebrake is a timber rattler. What makes me think of canebrake is the yellow stripe on its back.

I’ve rescued several healthy black rate snakes off the road here in the last few days. I ain’t afraid to halt traffic to grab one.

Thursday. Big one. Just over 6 feet. Thought it had recently fed, but when I grabbed it to pull it out from what it was under, I knew it hadn't, just big. Rat snake.

Saw the largest copperhead I have ever seen while on the golf course the other day. Sucker was so big I had to double take to make sure it wasn’t a rattlesnake. Probably pushing 4 ft long and bigger than my forearm!! Didn’t have my phone so couldn’t get pics.
I think the largest one ever recorded in NC is about 43". So, they do grow big here.
My FIL killed one that was 41-1/2" several years back.

Yea this one was a big one. I’ve seen a ton in the 18-30” range over the years but this one was a monster!!! It was chilling right by the cart path. I was out for a jog and spotted it about 20 yds before I got to it. Im glad I saw it. We’ve actually had two people in my neighborhood who have been bitten by copperheads this year. One is friend and colleague of mine. She got bit while taking her trash to the road. She ended spending 4 days in the hospital.

Heard about that place. Sound very unique.
I ride by there quite often and never knew it had a name. Never stopped for a closer look either.

It was pretty neat place especially for my 3 year old. He loves rocks and kids leave toys and trinkets there. I thought it was some kind of grave yard as I was driving past it when my parents lived in Virginia.

We were checking sewer outfalls last year. My partner and I had to go check a large manhole thats about 6’ high and has a flat top. As we areived there were 4 bug water snakes on the top. As we got closer on the gator, the grass started moving everywhere it seemed. I dont know if it was breeding season or just a water snake convention, but they were in there thick that day. Very skittish.
Wife was out walking Frankenstein (she calls him Frankie, but I call him Frankenstein cause of his sometimes attitude) and we were on the phone discussing something,,,
when she yelled
I knew immediately it was a snake
asked her what kind and she just yelled "a d@#$ SNAKE!!"
good thing I was out with my mutts, or I'd a had to go relocate the poor fellow

Posted this in another thread but I met this one as I came down off that log over in Kentucky. 
Then this was from a couple years ago. Coworker pulled it off Zuckerbook so I can’t speak to its validity:

This is the biggest one I've ever seen, I have no doubt he over 3ft and pushing 4ft.
