Panamint Rattlesnake vs. Gopher Snake
Both live on rocky slopes of the Mojave Desert; their records overlap widely. The Gopher Snake mimics a rattler. A: Broad and triangular, much wider than the thin neck; a pit between the eye and nostril in the Panamint Rattlesnake; narrow, with a dark band across the head in front of the eyes in the Gopher Snake. B: Vertical (cat's eye) in the Panamint Rattlesnake; round in the Gopher Snake. Look for the rattle.
