Dusky Pigmy Rattler
I found what looks like a baby (5-6 inches long) Dusky Pigmy in Glynn county, Georgia a couple of weeks ago.

Observations....
I have been seeing atrox here in Central Texas since March. Sunday I will be going out to West Texas to observe Mojaves, Blacktails, and Lepidus.

Thanks gentlemen, I am trying to find out as much as I can about Crotalus sightings this year for a paper I am composing. If anyone else observes any Crotalus, I would be greatly apprecitative. I enjoy seeing the neonates at this time of year. They are so interesting, being exact miniatures of their parents.
Sounds like you, Tim, are going to have a great time out there. Happy Herping, please let me know if you see many Crotalus?

The 2 species of crotalus and
sistrurus plus the non-native crotalus has been seen in Kansas for about a month now. We have had a very strange last month and a half of climatic weather conditions. hot to very hot, cool to downright cold, drought, rain in some parts and tons of it but seeped in ground immediately. One day in the middle 90ties then next day in the 70ties. Nights in the upper 60ties low 70ties then nights in the upper 40ties. The non-native species I talk of is the atrox let go/re-introduced for what reason of a state park in central mid Kansas ( yeh! Some of you know about this ). They had that blame rattlesnake hunt/derby/event out west last weekend or the weekend before in Kansas. I have no idea how it went or how freaking successful it was but will find out soon ! The good ONLY good thing was C. viridis was allowed to be collected/brought in only and there was a how many numbers restriction put on. But this had changed from other years as to being higher as I had reported earlier and in my opinion a step backward.

Come on people. A little more input would be nice. I know a lot of you have encounters with Crotalus in the wild. Give me some details.

Hope it's not too late...
I've only observed atrox this year so far; it's been a crappy year for snake hunting for me:
Waurika, OK 1 adult
Loma Alta, TX 1 adult
Lake Arrowhead, TX 1 juvenile
Iraan, TX 1 yearling (maybe younger)
I've also seen 2 DOR's...
Hope that helps...
