New Atrox

My newest addition, wild caught Crotalus Atrox, he/she's about 12 inches long and is eating live weanlings willingly. I will try to get some more pictures when I have time. Let me know what you guys/gals think.

Couple days after first feeding, can still see the lump

I've always been intrigued by venomous snakes. I don't know if I ever would own any, but still intrigued.

Here are some updated pics, sorry for the crappy quality, had to use my phone.

Here is his cage, got it at herpcages.com

He still has a little bit of shed on his tail

And yes, there is a dead mouse in the cage when I took this pic

Let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions. Enjoy

What kind of substrate is that?

Zilla crushed walnut. I had sand in there but when it was wet it would get stuck in his heat pits.
