Definitely one of my favorites along with the timber, thanks for the great video 👍
I’m looking for a timber right now! They are probably my favorite species on North American rattlesnakes!
@@JosuesExotics Where can I buy the pygmy rattlesnake?
Excellent video. Very good information. Have been herping for over 30 yrs and Sistrurus miliarius has always been a favorite of mine. Safe herping.
Great video!
Wonderful Video I adore pygmy rattlesnakes
Same here! This little guy is one of my favorites hands down!
Love this video, very helpful.

@@JosuesExotics hi I have a question because I have a northern 4 year old rattle snake and wondering if the rattle snake would need the heat lights for summer I ask because I keep my air-conditioning on so it's not so hot in the house only a little lukewarm slash coolish for in the bedroom thats were I have the rattle snake at in his aquarium of course haha but bc the rattle snake is in the bedroom and it's not to hot or cold in the middle wondering if I really need to have a heat light on for him and because it's summer and bc I think summer I think maybe the rattle snake needs the heat light but it's not that cold or hot just in the middle of not to hot or cold so I'm wondering if the rattle snake needs the heat light on or not im asking bc I'd rather now then not now and something not right happens please and thank you so much please let me now thank you 🙂and great review and beautiful snake your is to 😁👍
Awesome! I live around these guys and come across them often, and I've been considered raising one as a pet. I'd love to hear any extra insight you have on raising these guys.
They are pretty awesome and super easy to care for. I’ll define making some content coming soon about them!
Awesome and insightful video man, it helps a lot. The only other question I have is; Since these are smaller snakes what should I start feeding mine and how long should I give them to feed since I just got him? Also what size did you get yours at and what did you start feeding with? Thank you in advance🙏🏻
Sorry I’ve been backed up with comments! But I always size my rodents by how big the widest part of the snake and go from there. Like if you were to lay the mouse parallel to the snake it should be bigger than that section. So I started feeding mine hopper mice since he was maybe 11in long? You can do pinkies but maybe 2 or 3 would be great.
Nice buddy!! Hopefully cottonmouth next
Most definitely!
I'm from Wyoming and we have them here
That's crazy. Wyoming is way out there!
Even if it's year old video it's nice ,I was looking for some information thanks 😊
I will definitely do an update on this video soon!
@@JosuesExotics that would be nice.i got a pair and female is stripe morph and highly gravid .
I remember catching a wild one in Appalachicola. He was about the size of a half dollar when I bought him, and was eating adult mice before I had to sell him before I moved. They are cool snakes.
They are an awesome species of rattlesnake. I’m currently in the market for another one!
Thanks!
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed this video!
Do these guys tend to need UV-A or UV-B lamps? Being a basking species, I'm curious if they would benefit from it at all...
Definitely a good question. Both types would be good to use but uvb would probably be better. I’m just using a heat lamp but if I decide to go bio active with the enclosure then I’ll switch the lamps!

Appreciate it! Gotta drop some knowledge on these folks!
Do you have any Black or Darker color pygmy's for sale? Let me know thanks man 😀
If I come across one I’ll let you know!
I have a really pretty dark pygmy female that I've been looking to sell recently. Idk how to go about reselling a snake is all
Hey man, I've watched a couple of your videos over these guys. I'm looking to get some of my own so I'm doing the research. Where did you get yours from?
I just so happened to run across someone selling them on the internet to be honest. It’s kinda hard to come across!
Where did you get it?
From a reptile expo down in South Carolina
If i was going to keep one, I would always wear my thick gloves, use a hook, and try to read the snake behavior pattern. I don't think handling or especially free handling would be an option it's not worth the risk
Yea I would really try to free handle these types of snakes!
Asking for real, why would you want venomous snakes? I’m terrified of snakes and I live in Oklahoma. I keep finding Pygmy’s on my 2 acres and that’s not okay! I have dogs, children, and the biggest baby of all- me! Is there a reason you’d have venomous snakes in captivity? Eeeeek! You may have all of mine! Also, is there a reason I keep finding them right now? I do not know their mating habits and have never seen snakes here in 7 years. I have found 3 Pygmy’s in the last few months! Does this mean momma just had babies? Do I have a nest somewhere? I can’t even bare the thought while I’m typing this. I may have to move. Lol. So troubled by this. I keep my property mowed and mostly clutter free! Thanks for your time.
Well I just have certain snakes that I find interesting! They just happen to be venomous! They are gorgeous snakes to look at and observe as well! But we’re getting in that point we’re there might be babies around that are growing up! So you’re probably right!
Thank you for responding!
