Doug T Nov 04, 2005 09:37 AM

Someone sent me some neat pics from somewhere in Texas. The author is unknown. If someone knows who took the pics, let me know. The picture page is linked below and they're top row pics.

Yes, I would say Western Diamondback also. Look at shape of head as well as pattern on skin. Amazing photo! Thanks for sharing with us, Mr. Doug Taylor!

Sincerly,

I recieved those very pics from a dog breeder friend in Texas, evidently this was taken near Premont Texas. I have to original email here somewhere can fwd. it to anybody interested. Whoever wrote it refered to the snake as a 'blue Indigo' They obviously haven't seen a nice Eastern if they call a Texas In. blue....... LOL

Just got a new male redfaced Eastern from Germany will post pics soon.
