Don't forget to take your camera to your friends' house! How long have you been in the US Rhea?

I have a story. So, I went hunting for deer in southwestern IL, and it was getting late and we hadn't seen any, so we were walking around and we finally sat down on the side of a hill. I got up and moved a little bit over, and saw that I was sitting on a little foot long snake with brown bands over grey. After playing with it for a while I finally put it on the side of the cliff and went away. After going home and looking up what it was, I figured out it was a timber rattlesnake.
If that made no sense it's because I'm a crappy storyteller and it runs in the family.

Remember my story (on page 2 of this thread) about the Cape Cobra? Well I found a couple of pictures of him. They're crap photos, but I thought I'd share them anyway!!

I've found another crap picture! This time of "McGregor" one of my Eastern Diamondback Rattlers. I can't believe I have no decent pictures of this guy, I had him for years!

Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. (Crotalus adamanteus).

Wow, I wish I had the guts to have a poisonous snake. I wouldn't even want to open the cage.

They're not so exciting really Matt, they just lay around all day! Garters are far more entertaining.

Yeah, but they look, I don't know, exotic? Cool maybe? That would be great to scare people you hate with (as long as there aren't any laws about them)

adamanteus · 03-09-2007, 03:53 PM

For people who live outside the States, Garters are exotic. And they're certainly cool!

Holy cow, James! How long is that cobra?
