I was kind of freaking out for a little bit as I thought the male was actually a Mojave rattlesnake based on certain scales, but I'm thinking that those were just aberrant as everything else lines up for it being a western diamondback rattlesnake. However, I'm still going to get it double-checked just to be safe.
Ill have to do that soon.
The copperhead is quite a beautiful snake.I was bitten by one years ago.

Beaded lizards and Gila Monsters are so awesome! Extremely unique animals
Also love cobras. I'm really jealous about your reptile collection![]()
Congrats on your new pick ups, they are very sweet indeed. I've been thinking about a Gila as my next purchase actually..
That's a very nice Aspidelaps, full of attitude as it should be. I very much want one myself! These things are really as 'cute' as venomous can get.
