Northwestern Neotropical Rattlesnake (Crotalus culminatus)
This young adult female northwestern neotropical rattlesnake ( Crotalus culminatus) left my collection this week. Tough one to let go, but I needed the room.

Re: Northwestern Neotropical Rattlesnake (Crotalus culminatus)
So much want in this thread.  Would have definitely took it off your hands if I could keep it in AZ.

While I don't keep any venomous snakes or lizards, I certainly recognize and appreciate the beauty of many of them. This rattlesnake is stunningly beautiful!

She ended up going to a zoo in South Texas, so hopefully she will become part of a breeding project there.

Re: Northwestern Neotropical Rattlesnake (Crotalus culminatus)
Nightflight, what does your Crotalus collection consist of? Seems you have a pretty impressive collection of hots.

I've scaled way back on Crotalus, and now only keep my favorite buzztail species-- C. adamanteus and C. cerastes. Wait, and C. ornatus, but the latter kind of fell into my lap.

Re: Northwestern Neotropical Rattlesnake (Crotalus culminatus)
Still a great collection. I would love to have an Adamanteus.

C. adamanteus will definitely always have a spot close to my heart!

It was a road sign near Tobermory, Ontario, Canada. Took the photo while on vacation there one year.

Re: Northwestern Neotropical Rattlesnake (Crotalus culminatus)
Hey nightflight, is this neo the same as the one you listed? I've always loved the light colors but wasn't sure if it was a different locality or just a lighter phase.

Re: Northwestern Neotropical Rattlesnake (Crotalus culminatus)
No, the one in the picture you posted is a Yucatan neotropical rattlesnake (C. tzabcan) from the Yucatan peninsula (and Guatemala and Belize), whereas C. culminatus is found on the Pacific side of Mexico (in Michoacan, Oaxaca, and Morelos). Both are drop-dead gorgeous rattlesnakes though!

Awesome thanks for clearing that up. I'm learning scientific names but it's a slow process!
