Rock Rattlesnake - at least I think... Never seen one in the wild.

Here are a couple of stories about a two-headed rat snake in Waco:

We frequent the Waco zoo regularly and are pretty excited about that snake being added to exhibit.

The video is horrifying enough. I'm just glad no one lifted those sheets of tin! I've seen enough on this thread how that goes down.

I'm no expert, but that appears to me to be a fairly large copperhead. It's tough to get any kind of scale for sure, but it looks like he's a pretty big boy.

Also, I'm curious, who's winning in that fight? Is it the cottonmouth because it appears he keeps most of his body on top of the copperhead? I don't know what we're supposed to be looking for in that kind of a battle, so I figured I'd ask.

That's Crazy!

My non-herper opinion is that they were preparing to mate and create the elusive, yet deadly Copper-Moccasin... Or Coppasin for short.

Ironically enough a probable hybrid was just found near College Station. I'll see if I can get the picture on here

Why not.....I've seen a piranhaconda in the movies. Anything's possible, apparently.

Chasing pronghorn in the panhandle. Guy was dead in the road but in perfect shape, sans rattles. Figured I'd salvage the skin.

Prairie rattler, btw. I know my snakes.

Yes. I don't mess with the pointy end.

I'll skin, scrape, stretch, and dry it. Looks about perfect size to cover one bow limb.

Mason Mountain WMA, haaaa, several years ago I did that 4 times in 10 days and Austin freaked out......granted, mine were at Cedar Hill State Park.

By the way, Cedar Hill State Park has a lot of rattlesnakes.

Old thread about it. #4 was a few days later.

Found this little guy in the office this morning. No clue what it is. He appeared injured and was acting strange. He lived by the way.

Apparently turning their ass up when they feel threatened is a defense mechanism. SO PRETTY!
