Crotalus basiliscus   One of the largest rattlesnakes; specimens exceeding 150 cm are not rare, and the maximum size reported is 204.5 m, but there are some long term captives that are even larger. Large specimens have a prominent vertebral ridge on the anterior part of the body, shaped by high neural spines.
