Pygmy rattler, (Sistrurus miliarus)
Pygmy rattlers are a SMALLER, more irritable Sistrurus cousin of the Massasauga
NICE! Beautiful pattern/color variety.
Not even close. Racers are colubrids, and other than some really sharp, and fairly large teeth, harmless, unless you're a mouse, snake or rat.
Cobras are elapids. VERY DANGEROUS!
The only thing cobras, and racers have in common, is they both hunt by sight, and have the same temperament.
Careful! They bite.
Gorgeous animal, nice pics BTW.
Racers aren't constrictors, they pin their prey, swallow it whole, and alive.
Insufficient data.... Need a better pic.
