"Patternless" Eastern Diamondback Microchipped in North Florida

Oct 2, 2020

FWC biologist Pierson Hill recently documented an extremely unusual “patternless” eastern diamondback rattlesnake in north Florida, which he then microchipped and released safely for identification by researchers in the future. This color morph is exceptionally rare – only a small handful of patternless diamondbacks have been documented by biologists, according to FFWCC. We thought it worth sharing with you because it’s still warm enough for cold-blooded creatures to be active in the woods, despite it being hunting season.
