DesertNuggets Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 This guy was keeping me company today. Never rattled or even moved.It had the classic pit viper shaped head and was very lime colored. You can't really tell how lime it was in my pictures.Wasn't even aware we had those around Tucson..

bsumbdy Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hello, That was a Black Tailed rattlesnake (Crotalus Molassus) Depending on the type of terrain there are also Mojave Greens (Crotalus Scutatulus) in your area. Hope the prospecting was Productive!Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
