| Just got these guys today from a friend. Newborn CBB Crotalus cerastes. I'm unsure of the subspecies though. I have heard that the laterorepens have a brown base segment while the other two subspecies have black base segments. So based on that, I'd guess he is a laterorepens. Although I've heard that isn't actually a good way to differentiate them. Anyway, took a couple pics of him tonight after I got him home. He is a TINY little bugger. The other is a newborn Crotalus oreganus. The mother was at a rescue here in the area and was gravid when brought in, so the babies themselves are captive born. Most all of them seemed to have this striping on their necks almost like a Crotalus durissus. A friend of mine also acquired one of these babies, and his had the best striping I've seen of the group. I wish I had some pictures of it. Very beautiful little snakes! Crotalus cerastesCrotalus oreganus (he's about to shed, so not looking his best) | |

| Is the cerastes eating ok for you? I do not have any of these as of yet, but I always hear stories of them being difficult starters. And I know you mentioned the oreganus is from a wc rescued dam, just curious if you happen to know the locality data on it? Would be very cool to be able to breed them together (yours and your friends, assuming...) to produce some striped oreganus with locality data.... doesn't get much better than that! | |

| The oreganus are beautiful, but the little sidewinders are impressive... Do they eat well? | |

| The oreganus I assume came from Sonoma county.
As for the cerastes, he has yet to eat a meal on his own =/ He has a messed up tongue and cant flick it out for whatever reason, so that may have something to do with it. I've been assist feeding him and he seems to be growing/healthy. Got him at 4grams, currently weighs in at 15grams. He just shed for the first time this last weekend. | |
