Rattlesnake Breeding Projects




Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake                                 Crotalus adamanteus



Eastern Diamondbacks are the largest and most impressive of the north American crotalids. Average adult size is 3-6 feet but occasionally you will see larger specimins. The largest on record was 8 feet in length. This species is in serious trouble in its native habitat due to land development and over collection. This makes more captive breeding programs that much more important. Our offspring are from high yellow adults from long standing captive bred bloodlines.  

 



Mexican WestCoast Rattlesnake                                    Crotalus basiliscus

These are one of the largest rattlesnake species, they easily reach lengths of 5-6 feet and are possibly the heaviest of all rattlesnake species.They range from pale brown to some amazing shades of light green. The majority of captives are fairly laid back snake whom rarely strike. Although lesser seen in U.S. collections, this species is very popular in Europe. Our group consists of bloodlines from Sweden, Germany and the Cincinnati Zoo.



Sonoran Desert Sidewinder                                            Crotalus c. cercobombus

A small to medium sized rattlesnakes reaching just over two feet in length. Females of this species tend to get larger then the males.  Sidewinders are unique among rattlesnakes due to their interesting form of movement. Large brow ridges above the eyes make them almost appear to have thorns.  This subspecies ranges through mexico, into arizona. We are working with 2 color forms dark and light. I will try to reaquire the third color form I had years ago when I started Crotalus & Company. All offspring will be sold as rodent feeders.



Chaco Rattlesnake                                                              Crotalus d. terrificus

Our adults are rich chocolate brown.



Mottled Rock Rattlesnake                                                Crotalus l. lepidus

Another of our smaller species of rattlesnakes. This species grows to just over two feet in length. This species ranges Mexico up into Texas and s.e New Mexico. This species is also highly variable with different localities varying in pattern and sometimes even color. We are working with locale specific stock and will provide that information to our customers. All offspring will be sold as rodent feedeers.



Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake                             Crotalus m. pyrrhus

Speckled Rattlesnakes are a medium sized rattlesnake, averaging right around three feet. This subspecies ranges through Baja, California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. Speckled Rattlesnakes are probably the most variable of all rattlesnakes. Colors vary depending on the color of the rocky outcroppings in there range allowing them to blend into their environment. Colors range through off white, yellow, gray, tan, pink, pale orange, brick red, blue and even dark brown almost black These are some of the most beautifully colored rattlesnakes there are.  We are currently working with locality specific  blue and pink speckled rattlesnakes.



BlackTailed Rattlesnake                                                   Crotalus m. molossus

We will be offering nice platnums from Texas and amazing golds from Arizona



Tiger Rattlesnake                                                                   Crotalus tigris

One of my favorite rattlesnakes and a species i have specialized in.



Uracoan Rattlesnake                                                           Crotalus vegrandis

These are a small species of rattlesnake averaging from 16-28 inches long. Small for a South American rattlesnake. They have a very mottled pattern to their bodies and range in color from pale gray with white, to a dark rich brown with yellows. This species is reported to have a testy disposition however they are nothing to a C. atrox. Our stock are from captive bred bloodlines, some of which were produced at a private facility in Costa Rica.



Western Pygmy Rattlesnake                                                       Sistrurus m. streckeri

These are a small species of rattlesnake
