Would someone be so kind as to identify
Ok here's the thing. Took the little one to the zoo and ended up taking a bunch of photos in the reptile room. Now I can't remember what is what. I know the first to are some type of Rattler but which one?? Also what is the snake in the last photo... there was both a cobra and a mamba and I know I took photos of both but can't remember which one this guy is.

I want to say the top one is a uracoan, I know that spelled wrong, rattlesnake but I'm not positive. The middle looks like an Eastern Diamond back and the bottom looks like a black momba.
Post the pics here: www.thereptileroom.org. It's all hots all the time there. Those guys will know in a heartbeat. |
The first one is a Neotropical Rattlesnake
E. Diamondback Black Mamba What zoo did you visit? |
The were taken at the Alt zoo. Thanks for letting me know who was who LOL. I am really bad at remembering the species names. One day though I hope to know them like you guys do.
Just for fun here is the copperheads photo and the one I *think* was the cobra if the one from the first post is the mamba. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65...Picture029.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65...Picture005.jpg |
Surely the cobra
|
copperhead
the "copperhead" pic is actually a cottonmouth. Yep the 2nd one is a king cobra.
|
Not a Cooperhead in the picture above the Cobra you just posted. That's a Water Moccasin AKA Cottonmouth.
|
See LOL told you guys I could not remember who is who...but hey at least you get a good laugh right? Cottonmouth not copperhead! Got it now. LOL

It's ok, we all have been in the same boat as you at one time or another. If you really want to learn about them the internet is a great tool and one I wish I had when I first got started. |
I spend way to much time online now! Seeing as it is the only place I can indulge my interest in "hot" snakes with out my husband filing for divorce LOL. Sad thing is I have been lurking here for a long time now and for the life of me STILL can't keep the scientific names straight... heaven help me if I ever have to pronounce them. Like with the frist 2 photos I knew they were rattlesnakes but which species had me lost. There has got to be some trick to remembering this stuff...
