finally borrowed a digi cam. sorry about the poor quality, i dont quite know how to work it.

but you can see the color, and that's the best part.
this is an aruba island rattlesnake (C. Durissys Unicolor)
these guys are very placid, as their are few natural preditors for them in aruba. in fact, their rattle is very reduced and in some individuals, does not even function.

almost looks like a neo-tropical rattler.

no need to be sorry! common names can be confusing.
