Crotalus atrox

Yesterday we had a warm afternoon so I took advantage of that and decided to clean my atrox's cage and let it take a walk in the yard. How many of you all ever take a rattlesnake for a walk? LOL

It has grown much since I got it over 3 years ago. She was the size of a pencil when I first got her

That looks very scary! But very pretty at the same time!
I'd love to have a little rattle snake! But then I would have no friends over ever again! lol

I mostly keep scorpions and tarantulas though ;)

Very cool! I think the venomous animals are just so gorgeous. Love em.

I love rattlesnakes! Now that I live in southern California I'm dying to go out and catch myself a local! Your timber is beautiful, I am originally from S. IL and would find one or two every year. It was tough seeing them and not being able to collect because they were protected in IL.

Here in Missouri timbers are fairly scarce as well or at least they seem to be here in the South. Strangely enough, the herpers in the more Northern areas of the State and in Eastern KS seem to find more timbers than us. That particular snake in the photo is actually from Eastern Oklahoma.
