aww he is soo cute!! lol
i had a co-worker bring in a Massasauga just a little one like that but man was he gorgeous... it was great because he only had one rattle and there he was trying to be all big and bad when he didnt sound like more than a house fly buzzing
needless to say my Fiance would let me keep him in the house even just over night, but i took him back out to the desert and let him go.
