Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

And more specifically, a young (or "neonate") Northern Pacific rattlesnake. I think what confused you is the lack of a rattle? What you are seeing is what is called the 'button'- the beginning of the rattle that each rattlesnake is born with. Thereafter, they add a segment every time they shed, so that the rattle becomes longer (& louder) until such time as it may break off. Their rattle is made of keratin, just like our fingernails, and similarly, you cannot tell the age of a person or a rattlesnake that way. What you can tell is how many times the rattlesnake has shed since it was live-born...so you know this guy is a baby. Still deadly venom though, so please be careful & do not handle him! He's a valuable part of nature & I hope you let him go in a safe area, away from people.

Awesome! thank you! I'm a former So. Californian that for many years rescued & re-located rattlesnakes to keep people from killing them and getting themselves hurt in the process. I kept some (not releasable ones) for 20 safe years and did my best to educate the locals...I'm terribly fond of all buzz-babies, truth be told. But I only keep some harmless snakes these days, mostly rat snakes. Most folks truly don't need the risk of hots in their homes, lol. Ya really have to stay focused & plan every move.
