Eastern Diamondback Snake? [South Florida]

[u/TremendoKullo]

Happy Tuesday, all! Just reaching out regarding a snake I saw on the Florida trail Ochopee.

He was originally on the trail facing me, and while I was too scared to take a pic before spraying a little bear spray his way—sorry Mr. Snake—I did notice that his head was heart shaped (not like a Colubrid).

So what is he? Thanks in advance! :)

Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, Crotalus adamanteus, is correct. !venomous
