Tiger Rattlesnake (Crotalus tigris)

Observer

Date

August 21, 2016 04:45 PM MDT

Description

Approximately 2 feet in length (small compared to Western Diamondbacks); 14 rattles; smaller head; light in color (enhanced to illuminate markings slightly) located at main trail entrance between bike path and restrooms

Number of rattles suggests senior snake while length suggested younger. Spectators thought it was a Mohave but I question that. Wondering if it's one of Arizona's protected species.

Thank you for helping identify this rattler!
