Have you ever found an eastern diamondback rattlesnake in Louisiana? I know their historical range included at least Washington and St. Tammany parishes, but I think they are largely gone now from Louisiana. Would that most likely be correct or not?

There were never that many actually less than a dozen "reported" all time. One was reported near Franklinton in early 90s some grad students did a lot of searching but came up zeros. That is the last reported sighting. I remember reading something at LSU that had all reports of an area from north of Franklinton to just east of folsom. Given the habitat and land use changes - safe bet none remain in LA. closest report to LA was about 45 miles east of state line shortly after katrina.
