Wildlife Spotting

Here are photos of a western diamondback rattlesnake taken at the same facility http://www.flickriver.com/photos/sypix/4683803088/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/blademrk/4913883474/in/set-72157624775084592

I'm not sure if it's an adder or a rattlesnake.....

Maybe...has those (faint) slanted eyestripes and roughly keeled scales. It is also a species found at the West Midlands Safari Park...

It's some kind of rattlesnake...it's not native

Thanks for you reply Jonathan. We like to know whether animals are captive or not as it can help with ID. This is not the European adder, the only one found in the wild in the UK. I hope someone else will be able to narrow it down.

Hi JonathanRWatson! Is this snake captive?

wow what a killer look ! superb pic!
