It's really nice! Hope it eats for you!
I'm really surprised at the color. When I looked them up before I found darker ones, and the light ones didn't have such a sharp pattern.

Yup...that's what I thought. I've never seen one in the wild, but I've seen a ton of pictures of wild ones from my area, and they are all dark brown saddles on brown ground color. Not very striking.

This one is fabulous. Just a gorgeous example of the species.

Congrats, Steph!
 
Thanks everyone..!!! I am still so excited over this little guy. I might have it sexed this weekend.. Or I might wait a bit till after its eating.. We'll see..
I didn't expect this color either :)

That is truly a beautiful snake! It's coloring is awesome, and it's eyes are just amazing.
Hope you have luck with it eating for you and please keep us updated on his progress with you.
 
Thanks I will keep everyone updated :) First I am going to find out if it is a he/she. I really wanted to breed these guys, but I need to find out if I can legally first.. I don't even know where to begin to research info on that. Any tips on where and how to find out if I can? I did look up info on owning and collecting these guys awhile back but found nothing against it but I did find laws protecting the Crotalus. Thanks guys :D
 
Steph,
Good luck again with this "guy". It is a pretty snake, i know now why you have been looking at them. Lets us know if you get this one to eat. I hope it does well with out lizard scenting.

By the way, this is the nicest snake picked up in this forum in the last month.. great pick up.
