Western Diamondback Rattlesnake
For many people, the American Southwest isn’t full until they see a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. Since the snake is tanner and smaller than its eastern equivalent, it blends in better with the scrub and sand. When it bites, it has large venom glands and unique fangs that allow it to deliver a large dose of venom. It’s also not particularly offensive in general, so don’t provoke it!
