Looks a lot like a Eastern Diamondback instead of a Timber rattlesnake.
Here's a real Timber rattlesnake (Georgia).

Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) come in four different
color variations:

1) Yellow - with black or dark bands - normally found in the
uplands of the Northeast.
2) Western - black or brown crossbands on a background color
of gray, brown, yellow, or tan - normally found west
of the Mississippi.
3) Southern - black crossbands on a pinkish to pale gray
background - found in the lowlands of the South.
4) Black (melanistic) - heavy, black or very dark brown bands
that cover much of the lighter background color.
- found in the uplands of the Northeast.

Both photographs are excellent examples of this beautiful snake!
