but you can see the color, and that's the best part.
this is an aruba island rattlesnake (C. Durissys Unicolor)
these guys are very placid, as their are few natural preditors for them in aruba. in fact, their rattle is very reduced and in some individuals, does not even function.

no need to be sorry! common names can be confusing.
