Twin-spotted Rattlesnake vs. Sidewinder
Their ranges barely touch; the Sidewinder lives on low sandy desert. A: Two rows of small dark spots on grey, joining into one row near the tail in the Twin-spotted Rattlesnake; pale, sandy, with faint blotches in the Sidewinder. B: No horns over the eyes in the Twin-spotted Rattlesnake; a horn-like scale over each eye in the Sidewinder. Both Ridge-nosed and Twin-spotted Rattlesnakes are protected in Arizona. Venomous: leave rattlesnakes alone and give them room.
