Herp Photo of the Day: Happy Rattlesnake Friday!

Happy Rattlesnake Friday! To celebrate International Woman's Day we grabbed this gorgeous shot of a Western Diamonback for our Herp Photo of the day, uploaded by kingsnake.com user juzior! You might wonder how this Atrox helps celebrate International Woman's Day, right? Did you know the first recorded captive breeding of Crotalus atrox was by Grace Olive Wiley? She is one of the foremothers of the venomous world and while her handling skills left a lot of people scratching their heads, she had one heck of a legacy. Not familiar with Grace? You should be! Be sure to tell them you liked it here! As always on Friday, we celebrate all of our venomous reptiles for their contribution to the world.
