The speckled rattlesnake is a venomous pit viper that lives in the rocky deserts and shrubland of the south-western United States and north-western Mexico. Its back is patterned so that it looks like a piece of granite, which helps it hide among rocks. Keep a safe distance from any rattlesnake you see in the wild.1

Co renconuscher el

About thirty markings run along the back, often in the form of crossbars.1
Some markings are clearly defined geometric shapes, such as diamonds, hexagons or hourglasses.1
The markings are always darker than the ground colour, but the exact colour varies from snake to snake.1
Colouring usually matches the rocks where the snake lives.1
Adults generally do not exceed 100 cm in total length, including the tail.1

Its patterned colouring blends with rock, so it is hard to see. It has a rattle at the end of its tail.1
