Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Recently I went herping and ran across a locality of these very attractive rattlers. Anyone seen any like these before, perhaps there common ?? I've never personally seen any colored like this before so I thought I'd share some pics and see what the experts here think.
Many thanks for looking.
I'm having trouble posting multiple pics on one post so I will be posting some pics individually.

Although I am by no means an expert, I think these are "pretty cool". Where (general area, no need for specifics on a public forum) did you find them? The thing that interests me most about these snakes is not their light color, but their tail banding. That adult is pretty remarkable. I have very rarely seen any, in the wild or in captivity, that exhibit that amount of continuous white.

email me at Asnakemann@aol.com , I have some pics of others etc if you want to see they all have abberrant tails.

It's just natural variation. I have seen atleast 20 atrox from the same area this year alone, with dark ones, light ones, and everything in between. The tails are abberant nearly as often as they are regularly banded.

I have seen numerous atrox patterned such has this juv. in AZ.

Have seen many like that in southern AZ. and south western NM.
