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.

Axanthic Northern Pacific Rattlesnake
This is probably the best picture I took at Tinley. Owned by the Wildlife Discovery Center in Lake Forest, IL.

Wow. Living in Ca. I've seen a fair number of Northerns andtheri variety is well known but THAT is one damn fine looking animal.
Do you know anything about it's origins? Do you have any other pics? It's a true beaury.
Hmmm, I've been thinking a bit and isn't Axanthic the lack of yellow?
Wouldn't that more properly be a hyperxanthic, extra yellow, or maybe even some oddball anerythristic since there seems to be no red or orange?
It's a beauty either way.

Now that I look at it better it does not look like a Norther pacific at all... It looks more like a xanthic Crotalus durissus...

Well, blame my faulty memory and the fact that I should have double checked the name before I posted.  It is a Northwestern Neotropical Rattlesnake. I can post the photo of the info sheet they gave. However, I don't think I can change the thread title. It's described as the 'xanthic' phase on the infosheet given by the Discovery Center.

Xanthic is hi yellow, axanthic is no yellow.
The stripe on the neck did make me wonder but I figured it was just an oddball.
Still cool.

It is a Xanthic Crotalus simus cuminatus.
Also a northern neo tropical rattlesnake. These guys were floating around for a while a few years ago. A real cool snake but super hot. Much different venom than our North American crotalus
