A pink Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake resting in rocks near the Rattlesnake Solutions office in the first morning sun, This snake uses the same area each year, showing up around June and leaving once aestivation is no longer necessary during the monsoon.

This was in 2021, and if she survives another year, there is no doubt we’ll see her again in the same spot in 2025.
