Super slow here, but here's a picture I took last fall of one of my C. cumanensis (Hope it works!)

Fabulous twelve year old captive female Crotalus ruber ruber. Wild caught as two year old. Very pretty soft red. Coastal phase. Needs new home. Approved home only!

Found this 1 week after the snake in my last post - this one with a nice big food bolus. It could be the very same snake, since the burrow in the last pic is only about 15 feet away from this chunk of concrete.
I did not want to disturb the snake, so I used zoom, got whatever pic I could and let the snake be.

Finally! I had been searching this spot for over 2 years. There are some features in this little area that my gut told me rattlers would be here. At last I was there at the right time. I got really close to this sub-adult to take a pic w/o disturbing him.
The specimens in PV can be really purple when not fully grown, but I did see an adult years ago that was still very purple. Unfortunately, that snake probably died when Trump built his golf course.

I have a large C. ruber that is nine years old and was wild caught. She has been passing blood in her stool off and on and is now vomiting up her food. I don't want to take her to a conventional vet. Does this sound familiar? She other wise looks well. I give her a nice thermal gradient. I've keept them all my adult life.

Here are some pics of my female albino scaleless and my male scaleless het albino Western Diamondbacks. The female has quite a lot less scales then the male, and is also way more laid back. They are cb14 babies. I hope you enjoy! thanks

Thought I would share some pics of my pair of striped and het stripe dusky pygmies. These were produced in Madrid Spain, and I have had them for a little while now. The female het is probably the prettiest normal colored dusky I have seen. She is in shed in the pics but Ill post more in the next few days when she sheds. Enjoy!

I have gotten some confusing info on the Calif. status on the Red Diamond Rattlesnake. Is this snake now on the Calif. protected list? I have on that I caught in 2004 and would that make it under a grandfather clause?
Reply by markg — 2016-05-12 19:44:28 GMT
Hope you still look at this forum..
Yes, they are on the list I believe, I am looking up the details. A great deal of their habitat has been lost. Yours would be grandfathered.

Things were kinda slow on the venomous forum so I deided to make a few quick posts. Here's a subadult male C. w. silus (Chihuahuan Ridge-Nosed Rattlesnake) from our collection. He was about to go into a shed cycle when the photo was taken.
I'm glad to see more and more silus showing up on the market these past few years. They are amazing animals.

Here's a subadult Crotalus lepidus morulus - Tamaulipan Rock Rattlesnake - from San Antonio de Pena Nevada, Nuevo León, Mexico. We're raising up a small 2.2 group of these amazing animals. They were produced by Brook Berntson of World Class Reptiles.

The forum has been kinda dead...I know my pics aren't that exciting but I'll still try. Here's a picture of my montaine room. I built it into one of my herp buildings...super insulated...and has it's own A/C unit. Small hallogen basking lights are on each cage on timers (for basking spots). It has been working well for us.

Hey all,
Have you been keeping up with C. ornatus. Check out link.

Looks like we have a new specie in Texas and New Mexico.

Tried to follow article no longer there.
Fond some info during Google search, but can't
find conformation of C. ornatus being reinstated.

Just recently moved to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and was wondering if anyone is from around here? And also wanted to ask if anyone knows a good place to find some nice rattlesnakes?
I enjoy going out and looking for them,just dont know anything about the area yet.

Around how much do neonate albino blacktails run for? Also how readily available are they and who breeds them?
The few pics I have seen of this animal are utterly outstandingly breathtaking!! Any info/decent pics would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Yes, there was an adult albino molossus collected in the vicinity of Tucson, Az quite a few years ago. The animal is still alive and in good health with the individual that collected it.
Gsc is 100% right...Az state law prohibits the commercialization of ANY Az reptile or amphibian. Progeny of animals whose lineage can be traced back to Az can only be given away or otherwise disposed of per AzG&F guidelines. Therefore, progeny of this animal could not legally be sold, traded, etc.
I know that this individual also breeds other crotes as well, and routinely gifts away neonate abyssus, tigris, etc.

I don't have any real info for you. The rumors I heard is that they are in the collection of an AZ resident who originally found the original animal. I have never seen them for sale ANYWHERE. I heard that he gifts the animals to friends if/when they are produced since it's illegal for AZ residents to SELL native AZ hots. I don't have names or any more info- sorry. It would be amazing to see them more within the hobby. Maybe someone with more info will chime in...

His website Klauberi.com is gone and most of the phone numbers I have for him are no longer working except for his cell. I've been leaving voicemails for a month with no replies.
Last year, he was living in Jacksonville, FL with his girlfriend and we would always get together at Daytona in August.
He's a good friend which is why I am reaching out.
Anyone have any information?

I'm seeking advice on using hooks and tongs to position timber rattlers for photos. A DNR officer friend and myself will be searching for local timber rattlers to photograph. They are protected here in Iowa and the DNR and some private groups are trying to keep tabs on them. This will be my first time using snake hooks and tongs and I don't want to injure the snakes or myself. I will be wearing chaps and will not be manually handling the snakes at any time. I will be using a hook and tongs to handle the snakes and only when necessary to obtain a photo. I'll also be using a zoom lens (and a mirror) so as to keep a safe distance from the snakes.
I know my venomous snakes well and I know timber rattlers can strike 1/2 to 2/3 their body length. However, this is my first time using hooks and tongs so I'm asking for any advice you have regarding handling timber rattlers with hooks and tongs. Thank you.
Reply by DocOp — 2012-09-13 03:40:00 GMT
No real need to use tongs unless 'catching' an animal near the entrance of a stumphole, rocky crevice, or other situation were the snake can get away quickly. Tongs are a safety risk to the snake, as I've seen numerous tong related injuries from DENR personnel and private keepers that are not truly experienced with them.
Snake hooks are all anyone needs. Take two, might be easier to manipulate them for a photo. In my experience photographing rattlesnakes is easy, they basically pose for you. In-situ (otherwise known as undistrubed) shots are often the best, as they do not require the risk of a bite, nor the stress to the rattlesnake. In many cases these in-situ photographs come out better; more natural poses or they highlight interesting behavior and habitat features.
