Septembergirl70 yes, and truly is by nature. I have three that are red like this. all caught in the wild. this one is the most vibrant.

To make sure we are talking about the same thing....the red diamond from Baja California is a crotalus ruber. This is an actual red Western diamondback, crotalus atrox, from Oklahoma.

Andy van Laar thanks! she is special

MD921 honestly, very few have. Not even sure if it is genetic yet, just odd. All three of them lol.

MARKLINMAN1 thanks! she wasn't purchased though. all three were caught by friends or me

AWESOME CAPTURES man! Congrats.

Shelby Hooyenga thank you!

Deetzy Doo about time to try some feed videos with her. She is finally settling down

sheldon cooper thanks man! we are really hoping it will be genetic.

Antonio Almeida thanks! and that is our goal, to present what we do in a way that invites you to come along the journey with us.

Stretch Gang

Ty, she is still going strong. Hopefully breeding this year

Wait tell you see the next one I show.......I have another oddity for western diamondbacks.

Cyndi Ball thanks!

Olympus Reptiles I’ve never seen a rattlesnake this color before it’s a very beautiful snake 🐍

Antonio Almeida thanks!

Olympus Reptiles cant get over how cool it looks

James Malett thanks, that is awesome! glad you like the channel!

Raul Velazquez thanks! we just need to set up a go pro mount.

It's *always* better to feed frozen-thawed whenever possible, for many reasons.

AtarahDerek rattle snakes bite with venom so the rat would be less likely to harm it. So live is totally ok too

StonedSnakesUK it has. some antlers and the skull. less clutter is easier to deal with, and it has nothing in the room but me. it is feeding perfectly and seems to be doing great.

Makarov Kid thanks! she is beautiful, but has an attitude!

Southern California will be crotalus ruber. They Look very similar but are s different species

Xexi GamePlays awesome! I love getting subs from overseas!

AtarahDerek no experience with rubers, so not sure

J.B. Beverley I have, but not usually with these guys.

Jake Spaid since she was wild caught, she is fed live. weekly right now. I monitor to make sure she deals with prey item. but, she still won't swallow in front of me so I have to leave the room for twenty minutes lol. she currently takes small rats.

Thats really coo! So being wild caught whats the likelihood of transitioning her to F/T

Jake Spaid it is possible, but I want to keep her eating so not in a big hurry. she also dispatches the prey really quickly, so not a lot of suffering.

That make sense dont wnat to ruin a good thing. Thanks for commenting back so quickly. These vids is what this hobby needs, helping these animals that are so miss understood . Keep makin vids and ill keep watchin

Jake Spaid sounds good to me!

I don't remember the brand, they all do the same thing. Defiantly a thermostat is a must in this setup though.

It may actually be coming. When we get the zoo open that may be one we add. It is not that I love that species, but it is the most toxic rattlesnake.

For the record, that wasn't meant to be disrespectful, I just wanna see one close but not be near it

Ummm only your fear wouldn’t let you out of the truck. 😂.

scooked films more just showing what I got, lol. I guess you could say I promote the keeping of them, as long as it is done properly and safely. I think we have the right to do as we wish as long as it doesn't hurt others, or animals. however, this isn't for everyone and one should seek knowledge and experience prior to doing this.

I still wouldn't want it in my bloodstream, but I wash it like normal

EVIL Co. Some are. I got some that don't mind being handled at all. Even one venomous that seems like it wouldn't, however never worth the risk to find out.

tlpv_5 I have not

With most the cage being dark, and things she can crawl through she should be fine. Also, room is only used for reptiles, so not occupied most of the day, and usually only by me.

Find a mentor

Extremely. As far as we know there are three that came out of the same area in captivity now. I have all three.

It is a Western. Both have a striped tail, but of the two diamondback, only the Western is black and white rings

Olympus Reptiles gotcha Preciate the explanation. Still kinda new to it all.

Hannah Chalk she has calmed alot, with me. Others, not do much

Hannah Chalk they do get to recognize their keeper & normally ease up SOME with time... I've got a couple that are just always pricks to work with, but even those ones will relax in normal cage settings, but are still a handful when you've gotta work with them directly... I also have some that are total Pussy Cats to work with too... Each snake carries it's own individual attitude, but even the pls I'd ones can have their anti-social days...

☆ the placid ones ☆..... Sorry I couldn't edit the comment after it was posted... LOL

^pretty much this. This one is a little firecracker most the time.

firearmsfelons definitely NFS, even after breeding

Olympus Reptiles keep me posted on babies

Dustin Draper it was captured off some private permission only (I can't/won't give exact location to protect property owners/lease holders) in Oklahoma

Olympus Reptiles Im in texas and caught 1 similar male this year. Thats why i asked.

John S probably would, but didn't think of it. My mIn concern was security then looks. Someday I will switch it out for clear plexiglass

Brett Rohrer cage was made from re purposed Hastings display. Snake is a wild caught atrox. We are hoping to prove the color genetic. We are calling​ it a blood diamond

Olympus Reptiles do you have any interest at all in some day selling these gorgeous blood diamondback rattlers??? When I saw this video it caught my eye and I just have to have one hah they're so beautiful

Brett Rohrer some day yes. But we will do so within state law or shows that allow venomous

Olympus Reptiles how awesome! I will remember that snake and can't wait to have one in my collection someday hopefully! And how much did it cost to make a cage like that??

Brett Rohrer I don't remember exact price, maybe $200. But, that was only because Hastings was going out of business

MrFrontenginedragste will be a few seasons I think, but we will post it if / when we do

Thanks!

Wild caught in Oklahoma

Been plenty. Will be featured in yet a new cage soon

No, we haven't attempted breeding

Jake the reptile kid your right the lights do not provide that. For rattlesnakes, uvb is not needed.

holmanftw2212 we sell them at shows, and also through patreon

Olympus Reptiles Got a link ?

holmanftw2212 link to patreon is on many of our newer videos. Also can message me, and I can sell you one

but, also have to ck on any city ordinance etc.

Right on. You gonna be at the central kansas reptile expo?

Benzo Vinchzo I won't this year. just won't have enough hatched and ready by then.

Brendan Spencer I have all three ever known to be taken from the wild, so no.

Olympus Reptiles what would you price babies if youd produce them?

we have to wait on our reptile zoo to get open, and proper licensing to come in to breed. allowed to keep, but not breed until then. At that time, if it is proved genetic, I am thinking about 1k a baby.

Olympus Reptiles i think thats low😂😂 its an amazing coloration and i hope it is genetic trait because in a few years id like to buy one 🤞🏻, anyway nice snakes man!

Olympus Reptiles do yall make much from the venomous snakes or mostly the non venomous?
