Mojave Rattlesnake vs. Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake
They meet where the Mojave Desert's flats reach rocky desert mountains; their records touch there. A: Crisp dark diamonds edged with a ring of pale scales in the Mojave Rattlesnake; bands made of fine speckles, the colour of the local rock in the Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake. The Mojave lives on open flats, the Speckled on rocky slopes. Both are venomous: leave them alone.
