Yepper its a pygmy. Funny thing was I didn't think we had them up here in North GA. I've come timber rattlers but not a pygmy...the rattle was soooooo small....
To be honest - you could not get him to strike....he put up with my minor annoyance like a champ. .BUT - a good reminder to wear good boots in the woods - even in GA...
O yea Carolina Pygmies range cover almost whole GA just like 10-15% of west GA is not covered.. That's was really nice find
