Sorry... I meant to say Lance-headed rattlesnake, and by the way, I found the scientific name.
Lacehead rattler isn't a thing. There is a lancehead viper, but they do not have rattles. Lancehead vipers are in the genus Bothrops. It looks like B. alternatus but I'm not sure of that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bothrops_al...
I think that it may be a Lacehead Rattler, but I had a hard time finding the scientific name.
