Cascabel babies

My story with my Crotalus durissus is not yet over for the year as I discovered this today at around 5pm. The pics were taken through the glass by the way and so are not as clear as they could have been. These are not the snakes that gave me my brush with death last Friday night. They are my other pair.
The birthing:

Mother and child. The babies are quite a bit darker than the adults. Very pretty and pretty deadly :)

Seriously cute

Proud parents. They really are beautiful rattlers with the striping on their necks

Nice babies.

Well they have to help cover the medical costs of their other buddy. Then possibly a female black headed python.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.
