Beautiful snake! Thanks for posting the pics. Crotes are always a plus! Any notes on breeding? Time from breeding to birth, dates, etc. By the way, they are now classified as Crotalus oreganus oreganus.

Really? Hmm... interesting, thanks for the update!

Anyway, no notes on breeding however, as the parents were W.C. gravid females and there were a total of 28 babies from 3 females. The person I acquired this baby from I believe wants to mate them again. He now has 2 males for these 3 girls.

Amazing! How's its temperment? (Not that you'd be handling it much, but does it rattle frequently or strike at the glass?)

To my surprise, the parents were very calm, the owner of the parents shocked me by picking up one of the babies that was only 3" away from the father - all that time none of them felt threatened, or maybe they were just under colder temperature than normal. Anyway, as you can see in the first photo (which should have been the 3rd) you can see its posture and the tail was indeed rattling, with very low sound but indeed it coiled up after all. It's really curious for now, doesn't roam around its enclosure much and just coils up - sees the other snakes nearby but, it just flicks its tongue.
