They really are beautiful. Aren't they from Central America? How agressive are they?
To tell the truth, if I could catch a Great Basin Rattle Snake, I would keep it. They don't get very big and are not very agressive. I visited a guy who had one and while he didn't handle it, the snake took FT mice from tongs with no threat displays, rattling etc. It was young but a really pretty snake.

They are from southern Mexico into northwestern South America area. This little guy is already 1 and half years old. Not aggressive, its arboreal snake. so even dont move round too much either. But it is still a venomous snake..

I am going to put venomous sign and lock to the cage in case some visitor open it.

The thing with venomous is that they're pretty unpredictable and if you do get tagged then it's serious. People fairly accurately say that with most venomous it's not if you get bit, it's when. Be careful!

haha if someone ever wanted to commit suicide and not get caught or stopped a venomous snake would be a good way to do it.
