Prairie Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis)Observer
crheamilDescription
Found near Taos at the rio grande bridge gorge, but not common this far north? This was taken at sunset so snake is more orange in photo. 3-4' long, very green, it crossed path between me and friend and got into strike pose before I backed off. Rattle was small, no black stripes, very blunt, and it rattled.
