A Baja California Rattlesnake we found a few years ago in Mexico. These interesting rattlesnakes can be found all over the peninsula, from sandy beaches to slides along nearly vertical cliffs, and everywhere in between. Just from impressions, they seem like someone mushed a sidewinder and tiger rattlesnake together to make a versatile desert rattlesnake.
Cerralvo Island Rattlesnake from Baja California Sur, Mexico several years ago. There are a couple of species of rattlesnakes on this island, both of which can be found even down on the beach, in ambush alongside seashells and dolphin bones.

Years ago in Baja California Norte, MX, a broken down vehicle in our group made for a surprise overnight stay. A couple of us took the opportunity to explore a nearby canyon in hopes of finding a Rosaio Rattlesnake. We spotted this tiny baby crawling in the brush after a while. Worth it?
