Measuring from 3-4.5 feet (91-137 cm) or more in length, the timber rattlesnake is the largest venomous snake in New York. The record length is 74 Â½ inches (189 cm). Timber rattlers impress one as being very stocky; they are large snakes. Despite their size, cryptic coloration allows them to be easily concealed.
I really don't have anything to add about this snake that I haven't said below a million times. This is a regular sized Western Diamondback Rattlesnake.
