patternless prairie rattler

[Scales Zoo]

Scales Zoo does a little independent research at the densites near our house. Last year we found a patternless rattler during the spring count, there are some pictures of him in our photo gallery. We also spotted a hypomelanistic bullsnake, too quick to get a good picture of it. We were wondering if there are any other field herpers out there who have noticed any patternless rattlers, and if you have any pictures to share. We are looking forward to seeing this snake again this year, we missed seeing it in the fall, but that does not mean it was not at the den.
