Crotalus atrox

[BrianS]

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


A very photogenic snake

Id never take a rattlesnake for a walk! lol
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 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.
