What type of Rattle snake is this? It's redish pink
« on: May 26, 2011, 12:00:13 pm »
I got this rattle snake yesterday.  Came from Brownwood, TX.  I have heard them called Red Velvet rattlers, but I'm not sure....  This skin will be headed down to Georgia soon..

Got me, maybe it got too much of that red Texas dirt on it? ;D  Should make a pretty bow backing.

I dont know, but I found a cane break rattler on the side of a dirt road down here over 20 years ago in September that had a pinkish tint to it. Havent seen one like it since.

I've seen a few timber ratlers in GA that looked like they had a sun burned belly. Ron

You'ins are so funny ;D

Well, when I unwrapped the snake today from the multiple Walmart bags, it turns out it wasn't the snake in the pic  :-\ :'(

I called my friend from church. Let me back up a bit.. I let all my buddies know to PLEASE save me any and all snakes they happen upon...  He gave me a nice 7 ft coach whip, and he texted me the above pic, asked if I wanted it. Said his daughter killed it in the farm in Brownwood (which happens to have an aboundance of flint). 

I said, YES. Well, turns out she killed 2 rattlesnakes, and she didn't save the pink one :'(

But what could I do??? Complain??? I just wish I hadn't even seen pics of that beautiful creature at all..

Im not saying somebody is trying to deceive you, but that isn't even very good photoshop work. Looking at the background you can see that the color isn't right, unless all the dry sticks in Texas are pink that is. Does this look a little more real?
