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.

AcidFreeze	Eastern/Western Diamondback ID What visual differences do these 2 have so that I may better ID them? I have 1.1.0 Atrox and have come to be curious as to the difference; even after googling the pics really don't know. The National Audubon Societies "Reptiles and Amphibian" book seems to mention that the western has encircled broad black and white rings which is why they are calling it the "coon tail rattler"; but makes no mention of the same on the Eastern. There is mention of rows of scales W. having 25-27, and the E. having 27-29; but if I were in the field I wouldn't want to try to count rows while it was trying to evade me. Ref: pg. 686-687 Western Ref: pg. 685-686 Eastern Thanks. Greg
