Yeah I saw that a while ago amazing snake love them is yours a wild caught?
I'm not too sure on that one. It doesn't have any scars or defects from what my mentor & I can tell, so it's either CB/CBB or was caught soon after being born.
Nice, and another atrox? Building an army there I see, as you should be.
I figure that I may as well try to get this one if I can since he matches the female as far as color & pattern go plus has some nice peach tones; they should make some nice babies next season for me. I'm also going to be on the lookout for a het. albino or albino female to go with the male since he's supposed to be het. albino, but I'm not too worried about finding one just yet.
I should also have the Taylor's cantil (
Agkistrodon bilineatus taylori) in the next few weeks as well; I'm waiting until my little female takes her first meal or two before I get her. Not too sure if I'm still getting the two southern copperheads that I mentioned before or not as I have yet to hear back from the guy about arranging a different time to meet.
At this point in time, it's looking like
Agkistrodon &
Crotalus are going to be my main focus, but I hope that I can add that other African genus that I hinted about earlier sometime late this year/early next year. I'm really curious to see how any babies from the hybrids turn out since their parents were from a natural hybridization zone in Death Valley thereby making such a pairing plausible; the female is showing more Panamint than Speckled while the male is the other way around.
Collection at this point:
1.0.0 Southern Copperhead (
Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix)
2.1.0 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (
Crotalus atrox)
1.1.0 Speckled Rattlesnake x Panamint Rattlesnake (
Crotalus mitchellii pyrrhus x Crotalus stephensi)
