Re: Two New Girls - DU Warning
Oh Robin they are darling! Very nice of you Cass to stay up on snake vigil for Robin, there's a real show of community spirit if I've ever seen one! :)
Beautiful girls Robin, just beautiful.
I've never seen any of ours do a tail waggle before striking...how funny! She's either trying to convince you she's a big ole mean rattlesnake or perhaps just expressing her inner feline LOL.

Or she was trying to hypnotize me, I was rather mesmerized watching the tail waggling! I just sat their and stared at it until I had to jump back quickly when the strike followed shortly after that! LOL

Re: Two New Girls - DU Warning
They are both beautiful!
My BP has never attemped to strike at me, but my son's sonoran gopher snake often does a rattlesnake impersonation before he strikes. If his tail happens to be in the aspen bedding at the time, you can actually hear it buzz. It's all show though. Even if he does strike, he does so with a closed mouth, and he tames down quickly therafter.
Re: Two New Girls - DU Warning
rabernet, they look great! cute pics too....and alas I am playing future matchmaker for my three new girls, as none of them are breeding size yet either.......oh the WAITIING game...I hate it!! as far as the tail wagging thing goes, i have witnessed it two or three times before, but it was more like a serpentine-type wag of the tail rather than a tailvibrating rattle like a lot of milks and kings I've seen do......and If I remember correctly, the few times I saw this was like yours....when the BP was really pissed!
