Itsa pet.
My buddies mom caught it for me 3 yrs ago on her front porch.
It was a new-born, only 9-10 inches long, like a pencil . . .

I have kept more than 10 in my snake room at any given time, but now I am down to just this one.

I have a buddy who is one of the biggest breeders of albino diamondbacks too.

I aint afraid of this snake, but I do respect it.
Its lazy like a well-fed dog.
It doesnt rattle, and even on the rare occasions it strikes the glass, the bites are dry as I dont see the liquid venom on the glass anymore.

I dont pick it up, I dont play with it, it is just something I like and I take very good care of it.

YOU HAVE A RATTLESNAKE! You are my hero. I'd love one but my wife says no.
