very good, can you tell me what this snake is?

This is what I found out from my herp friends in the USA

They are geographic variations of the the same species. Many call that
a subspecies.

Mottleds are currently considered Crotalus lepidus lepidus and
Bandeds are currently considered Crotalus lepidus klauberi. This will
in all likelihood change in the next ten years as there is so much
variation from population to population.

Hope that answers your question mystic.
