Midget faded rattlesnake

Small snake, probably very young. Grayish color with red spots on it. Black stripes on or near the face. Hard to give too much detail because it was coiled.

Habitat:

In a crevice on a rock face in the desert near a very small stream.

I'm not sure of the species but there are no (western) diamondback rattlesnakes in Utah.

Appears to be a diamond back rattlesnake from the angle of the picture...
