Does anyone have a good care sheet for Black-tailed Rattlers? They are my favorite crots but I hear they have difficulty acclimating in captivity. I also hear they are very difficult to breed. Can anyone clear these up for me? I had a pair a while back that did well but showed no interest in breeding.
Thanks,
Dan
I have Molossus, they are pretty easy to care for, make sure they have a good hide box, and they eat best (at least at first) on gerbils.....just dont tell PetSmart what you plan on doing with the gerbil....

To you im just the crazy snake guy, but to some I'm a 'Herper'.
I've had a few stubborn molossus in my time, but I've NEVER had one turn down a gerbil...eventually you can get them switched over to f/t rats...
Keep them pretty much as you would an atrox....
You may also try covering the cage during feeding....this has worked for me with nervous snakes...
