Western Pygmy Rattlesnake, Sistrurus miliarius streckeri – the first I have seen. This was actually a pretty big one! At around 18″-20″, it was much larger than the majority of Sistrurus sp. I’ve seen elsewhere, and about twice the size of the others found in subsequent days.
This leaves one last subspecies of rattlesnake for me to see in the U.S., and a flight at some point to the Carolinas to finish it up. I’m not too much of a life-lister, but after so much time it would just be nice to complete something started long ago.
