Great vid. Thanks for not hurting it.

Snake appears to be a speckled rattler, Crotalus mitchellii.

not a Mojave. The head on a Mojave is smaller. It also looks like it was digesting something so it was a bit more docile than normal. If it was a mojave Green, poking it with a stick would probably have resulted in a visit to the hospital...or the coroner.

Definitely not a Mojave Green. It is a speckled rattler

"Hey... lets go poke a snake that can potentially kill us."

[pstick]

you should have killed it. that snake may bite a kid someday.

That's how you get bit...and that's NOT a Mojave Green by the way. At least it doesn't look like it.

I see these snakes 2-3 times a year. They can be very fast, or slow. Your'e lucky this one was not willing to participate in your poking project.

I kill all Mojave greens I come across out in the desert, no exceptions.
