Deep in the rugged mountains of South Carolina, the timber rattlesnake slithers in silence — both majestic and misunderstood. In this episode, see how trained biologists from SCDNR trek into remote terrain to capture, tag, and sample these snakes — even the newborns — in the fight against an emerging threat: a fungal disease that attacks their skin and health. Every tag, every sample, every telemetry signal helps reveal the hidden life of a creature vital to our ecosystems
