Here is a little bit of history: Dog finds rattlesnake in backyard.. Bites rattlesnake in half, snake in return bites yorkie...5-10 mintues later dog is comatose and non responsive... brought to the emergency clinic given 2 vials of wyeth... discharged 12 hours later to care of our hospital... DOG IS VERY VERY ATAXIC all neuro signs present when I asked the Owner to present the snake due to growing concerns of more AV the owner brought in this sample..

Bite happened in Rio Verde area of Az.
3 possibilities as I see it

1) Pure Atrox
2)Pure Scute
3)Mixture of both... My guess

Please copy and paste:

my guess due to markings is 1-3 generation hybrid
Tail is definately Atrox coon
Head shape looks very similar to scute
Upper pattern is mix but heavy atrox
Lower pattern fades like typical scute


Please provide input
Sincerly
