Field Notes

Description:

This beautiful creature has little pointed spikes above it's eyes. I know it is a rattle snake because of the obvious, it's rattle. It has beautiful stripes.

Habitat:

Under rocks, rocks and in small crevasses.

Notes:

When I saw this critter under a rock, I nearly screamed. My family gathered around, not getting TO close, as me and my dad snapped some shots.

I concur, it's a tiger rattler. Beautiful colors, they can have awesome hues of orange and pink depending on the area you find then in :)
