Beautiful! What’s your care routine for her and what medium do you have her potted in?

I usually water when the top inch or so of soil is dry/drying out, and then water until the water drains out at the bottom. I’m not sure what she’s planted in, but looks like a fairly generic mixed potting soil. I have another smaller rattlesnake in some coconut coir compost and that one is also pretty happy. The key for me is the humidity, I have three calatheas in my bathroom and they’re all doing well! 🙂
