Hypomelanistic rattlesnakes

[Stefan]

Hi all!

About two weeks ago I found two youngsters in the enclosure of my normal coloured Crotalus unicolor. I was a VERY LUCKY guy because I had two alive and kicking babies, but they turned out to be a pair and also both were hypomelanistic! There are only 5 known in the world as far is I know, and I have two of them!

Here are some pictures of the mom and babies Crotalus unicolor (Aruba rattlesnake):

Congrats Stefan, they are beautiful animals!
I like the striping behind the head, maybe you could start working on some striped hypos?

Thanks guys

These are animals from the durissus group. All those rattlers have the striping in the neck.

Beautiful snakes Stefan and well done. This is why I love exotics. Keep the photo's coming.
