The (western) diamondback does not occur in Utah. In fact the only rattlesnake found in the area of your spotting appears to be the Great Basin rattlesnake. Nevertheless a cool spotting :-) Nopayahnah is right. Photos 3 & 5 should be made separate spottings (removed from this spotting). Thanks

Cool spotting. Photos 3 and 5 don't seem related.
