Have you reached in and tried to pet her yet?

 :thankyou:  Her name is Pandora and she is surprisingly very well tempered for a rattler.  I tried putting a live mouse in with her later in the evening after we brought her home to see if she was hungry, but she wasn't ready to eat yet.  I was expecting her to be a lot more cranky than she is, it really surprised me how laid back she is.   She's our first addition into the world of Hots so its pretty cool.

Aaaw that's a cute name.  I'm sure she'll eat for you when she's ready.  Glad that she's somewhat mellow for you.  Can't wait to hear/see updates on her :)

Here's a few more pics of our new girl.  We've had her about a week now and she's settling in nicely.  Going to try and see if she'll take a mouse later today.

Alright I have had about enough of this.
BOTH OF YOU need to serriously BACK OFF.
Unlike many here mike i AM familar with you an what you "DO". So STop being an antagonistic POS.

Great Basin rattlesnake may refer to:

Crotalus oreganus (in general), a.k.a. the western rattlesnake

Crotalus oreganus lutosus (in particular), a.k.a. the Great Basin rattlesnake

Crotalus viridis, a.k.a. the prairie rattlesnake,

You an your lil "buddy" hwich you called over here for NO other reason then to start a fight have BOTH gone over the line in jumpping on  Heather. Your gona come back with "we were not jumpping on anyone just having a dicussion" BULLSHIT, IF  you where not jumping on her an ganging up on her, then myself, Tara, an Donnie would not have to step in an tell you to BACK UP.

You have gone from Arguing with her as to what species of snake it is, to bringing up the sexwhen your ealized that oh wait SHE WASNOT GONA GIVE INTO YOU! Oh gee imagne that someone else who wont bow down an kiss your obnoxious ass.
Weither she is Right or Wrong on the animal it is STILL her animal. If its male an she wants to name it  Miley Cyrus, then who the hell cares.

You have given NOT 1 bit of information to back up your claims of the animal being what you claim it is, you have not posted any reasoning behind consern. All you have done is sit back an Jump on someone whom you have belived to be of a lesser intelligence to you.
