wyguy Report post Posted July 2, 2015 LOOKS LIKE A TIMBER RATTLESNAKE( MAYBE SAME AS BLACK? )....THAT MARIACHI PIC WAS HYSTERICAL AND SLIGHTLY RASCIST LOL! OHHH NOOO...The race card again??? Dammit guys why you gotta play the race card?! Guess we get to start rioting XD But in all honesty I think Mojave or Prairie Rattlesnake... Didnt think AZ had a huge population of Prairie... Thought it was mainly Mojave, Diamondback (And I dont mean baseball) and mountain rattlesnakes... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vixen Report post Posted July 2, 2015 I honestly think a lot of people mistake a "Mohave Green" rattlesnake for the Arizona Black Tailed Rattlesnake. I also think a lot of people mistake the actual Mohave for a Western Diamondback. There are lots of the Arizona Black Rattlers that are not completely black. I have seen some with only half of their body black. I also think that the Arizona Black Tailed and Arizona Black are the ones people call Timber rattlers even though that is not their true name, just something I have always heard the good ol timers say. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonne Report post Posted July 2, 2015 I've seen (rarely) a few snakes at 6,000 feet, and heard they live up to 7,000 feet! But hadn't seen any that high yet...Rim Road, wow. I always figured walking around in those pine areas there was no concern about rattlers. I this like the 10 shark attacks they had in NC? :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always figured walking around in those pine areas there was no concern about rattlers. I this like the 10 shark attacks they had in NC? :-)I lived at 7000' and encountered rattlers often and in much cooler weather than one might expect. Encountered a rattler last summer on the High line Trail well over 7k' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rancilio Report post Posted July 2, 2015 I've seen what I believe to be a western at 8500ft in the Huachucas. And Gambels up there too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted July 3, 2015 I go prairie as well. We have a biologist on here, I think his name is Iowaborn who will know for sure. Thanks for the shoutout! Crotalus and others are right in that its an Arizona black rattlesnake. That one is a juvy that hasn't turned black yet. One of my favorites! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
