a couple years ago, someone posted a photo of a snake on kingsnake.com. they were claiming it to be a hybrid between a timber rattlesnake and a copperhead. i saved the pic, but it was on the hard drive of my work computer and i didn't think to save it when i left that job. i don't know if it was ever proved to be a timber/copper hybrid, but the photo was like nothing i had ever seen before. does anyone have a copy of that photo? if so, could you re-post it or email it to me? Thank you.

This sounded interesting enough to do a little searching.
On KS, I found:
1) Someone posted a photo and asked if anyone knew what it was. One person speculated that it might be horridus x contortrix. It was clearly just an abberant contortrix.
Several people saying they thought they remembered an earlier picture or mention of such a hybrid, but no info that helped me find it.
Back in the "old" archived a mention of a book that mentioned a "breeding" between C. horridus and A. contortrix, but the book didn't mention offspring.
I also found the following blog by someone who says he knows someone, who works for someone, who has one but couldn't get pictures...

That's about all I found.
