Default Anyone keeping crotalus horridus? Timber rattlesnake.

I like these guys as a possible future specimen, anyone have any views on this particular species?
Just want to know what sort of dealings people have had keeping these...

Also, another question, what causes the snakes to lose sections of their rattle?

timber rattlesnake, ones going on my license next year, I want a canebrake phase, I know some people say they are underestimated and one nearly killed Mark O Shea.

And the rattle is pretty brittle can just snap sections off in day to day going about.

I think every snake is underestimated to be honest. But yeah I was just looking at the canebrake phase myself earlier, it's a pretty good one!

That's some value for a breeding trio of westerns!

That's pretty unfortunate for sections of the rattle to fall off on a normal days activity.. I was thinking it would have to get caught in something or excessive rattling.

What's the going price for a normal phased timber?
