Western diamondback rattlesnake
GigitanThe western diamondback rattlesnake is a large, venomous pit viper that lives in the southwestern United States and the northern half of Mexico. It is thought to cause most snakebite deaths in northern Mexico and more snakebites in the United States than any other snake. Its diamond-shaped back markings and loud rattle make it easier to recognise, but it should always be given plenty of space.1
Cara mengenalinya
- Usually khaki in colour, though it may also be pinkish, brick red, yellowish blonde or white.1
- A row of 23 to 45 brown or dark umber blotches runs along the back, becoming diamond-shaped towards the middle of the body.1
- The tail has two to eight black bands, usually four to six, separated by white or grey.1
- A grey or umber stripe runs diagonally from the eye across the side of the head, usually edged below by a white stripe.1
Sering dikelirukan dengan: The Mojave rattlesnake also has banded tail rings, but its black rings are narrow compared with the pale ones. The timber rattlesnake has no tail rings, and the black-tailed rattlesnake has a uniform black tail or indistinct rings.1
