I know it's not the best pic. All the info I can give is I took it at the "sonoran desert' exhibit at the NC zoo this past weekend...

It looks a little like a blacktail rattler, Crotalus molossus.

What about the light colored one? Hypo or something?

There was a black tailed rattler, as I recall...perhaps that's what they are...

Thats kind of what I was thinking too, but I didn't even realize they got so light in color. The pic is very dark on my screen, but I dropped it into Photoshop so I could see it. =)

Those definately Blacktails. i have not seen any quite that light. You have to remember that the color of rattlesnakes veries a great deal throughout their range. Timber rattlesnakes are a prime example. They range from black, green, yellow, rust, and "Canebrake". The molossus that I generally see have very dark markings and look more like an Eastern Diamondback than anything else. That is one pair of beautiful snakes.

Yeah... I'd love a pair of blacktails that looked like that. =) I'm still waiting on one for my collection, but he's from W. Texas. Black & white, very contrasty.

Here are a few more pics of Black Tails that Jaffo has taken.
The first one is the desert phase which seems to be represented int eh original pic. The second is a more standard High Contrast molossus.
