Very nice.

Just be careful with her...

oh i am it was so funny as i was taking her out of the box i had my daughter in the room but far away she had my cell phone ready to dial 911 if i had gotten bite can we say paranoid??

Yeah, but paranoid for a good reason.

yes your right but she handled like a champ on a hook even gettting this pics taken she didnt even try to bite the camera

very nice atrox, they can be very aggressive just be careful my friend was bit by a western, it was his first bite from a hot, he kept hots for 28 years and started when he was 14. the bite cost him $42,000

awsome!! great looking baby you got there!!

Very nice,and be careful,,,and dont feel bad about being paranoid,when i started my venomous training,i made my teacer call Al Cruz in south florida,and give him a list of stuff we was going to deal with,and if he didnt have the anti venom readily in stock and able to put in "safe keeping"incase something bad happened,,we left that snake alone:)

yes i am careful with her i wanted to pick something that the anti venom would be close all she does is stay in her tank the ONLY time she is out is when i am cleaning her tank then she goes right into a hot box built by boa master she said i had to buy that box in order get her!!! She is going thur her first shed cycle with me cant wait to see the new rattle!!!

How often do they get a new button on the rattle?:cool: I wish I could get one, but I have too many people close to me that say I cannot.

Beautiful girl. I got to see my first eastern diamond rattler today. Man what a beauty, almost as nice as yours. I am a wuss I am afraid of getting bit so I just drool over others hots and keep my nice safe balls and corns. The worst biter in the house is my roommates Tiawanie beuaty.

Good luck with her and take loads of pics ;)

p.s what is a "hot box"???

I believe new rattle button comes with every shed, but the ends break off.

I wish I could have hots. A copperhead is my dream venomous snake, love finding them field herping.

Don't think that'll be responsible for two or three decades though.
