The pink tones to this C. atrox is fairly common in an area just out of Tombstone, AZ...

Is that a cerastes cerastes? If so...how are they to keep? I've heard from reliable sources that they are difficult to get feeding on rodents as neonates, thus I've resisted collecting one. But MAN are they beautiful...

Beautiful pics!
 
Beautiful shots! I didn't know you kept Crots. That atrox is melting my heart! I had a nicely colored boy like that one show up on my patio a few months back. Seems they've gotten bored with just their plainly colored scales lately.

Yea, I know it's a Sidewinder. Is it a Crotalus cerastes cerastes(Mojave desert), or Crotalus cerastes cercobombus(Sonoran desert), or Crotalus cerastes laterorepens(Colorado desert)?
 
aaahhh
I was thinking Cerastes cerastes - horned adder...

yes, Mohave, Crotalus c. cerastes...


She's only taken frozen a couple times. Definately prefers live hoppers. Otherwise has never been a problem. Never a need to scent or anything.
 
Good looking snakes....

with a new wife and an eighteen month old I no longer keep the hot stuff. But ceryainly long to. Just wondering.... how is the status of the Ridge-nosed rattlesnakes. Always a favorite, could never obtain one.
 
Don't tread on me!
That's the only thing I can think of when I see a pic of a rattler.
They are so cool to look at, but I don't think I could own one.
I think I'll leave the hots to to more adventurous people. Who don't live in condos. Or in places where there are local ordinances against them.

Are they an AZ snake? I would LOVE to go visit Madame Jynx and look for some herps. I'm dying to see a Tiger rattler and a Black Tail...

I WILL have a Panamint, one day. They are simply gorgeous, and they have quite a mellow personality. Even wild adults don't seem to mind hanging out with you for a little while...as long as you don't reach toward them, that is...
 
With how many cool rattlesnakes there are- who even needs all the other old world stuff??? Those are so gorgeous! And rattlesnakes are so easy to photograph. I think you have cooler ones out west.
