I just put a deposit down on a few snakes today, this is one of them. This is a male Neo-Tropical Rattlesnake or Cascabel (Crotalus d. durissus).

| That's not me in the photo nor is that my place. That's Henry Piorun at his facility. He's using aspen for a substrate. I prefer newspaper.
Greebs, I hate to tell you but that's a venomoid. I know, I know, but the way I figure it, it's not the snakes fault and Henry didn't have the surgery done. Okay, flame away. The pair of Copperheads I'm getting aren't though.

The way I see it, if you can't handle it, don't own it. Simple.

I didn't seek out to buy a venomoid, nor did I or Henry have the surgery preformed. These snakes are under valued in North America by most keepers, and too often ignored. Venomoid or not, it's a beautiful animal that deserves a good life and home.
Even with it being a venomoid they still command the utmost respect. They have huge teeth, a bit would be very painful. Also you can never sure that the procedure was successful. There are, albeit rare, cases of glandular regeneration. Or the vet (I hope) didn't do the procedure properly. Bottom line, I'm treating this snake as if it is hot, because I can't be certain it's not. Unless I get bit, a chance I'm not willing to take.

| You should also treat the snake as if it is venemous.
