Crotalus atrox
was definitely a rattlesnake but I'm not sure which kind. Has very distinct white and black bands near its tail just before the rattle.
One of two close encounters with a snake while on my bicycle within 15 minutes.
would the white and blacks tail bands indicate a western diamondback rattlesnake? are there any other rattlesnake with similiar bands that may be confused with the western diamondback?
