Field Notes

Description:

A specimen of the Arizona black rattlesnake at the Tulsa Zoo. I wasn't able to find much on him. Some of this can change color rather quickly like chameleons. Scientists are not sure why. They also give birth to live young, which is neat for a reptile.

Habitat:

Found in the United States, in Arizona from the Hualapai Mountains and Cottonwood Cliffs in the northwest of the state, southeast to the Santa Catalina, Rincon, Pinaleno and Blue Mountains. Also found at Steeple Rock, in extreme western New Mexico.
