My NorPacs
My Northern Pacific rattlesnakes. Hopefully get some better shots when it's light out. They are all wild caught and while I wouldn't dare say "tame" they are people tolerant and rarely even rattle anymore. Not shy about eating in front of people either.
The adults are Bonny and Clyde and the sub adults are Killa and Slug. There is Crofab at the local hospital within a 10 minute drive if anything should ever go wrong.
Hopefully one day when i'm experienced enough and can afford to stock antivenin I will get my monocled cobra. I'm fascinated with there body language and how they react to movement.
I would also apreciate if someone can give me the proper scientific name. I am under the impression it is Crotalus oreganus var. oreganus, but have also seen it listed as C viridis oreganus.
