Longnosed Snakes are, compared to many other snake species, able to tolerate urbanization to a large degree. As a result, they can be found in backyards relatively far from the nearest native desert, often being reported by homeowners as the &#8220;first snake we&#8217;ve ever seen here&#8221;. They are harmless, of course, even being reluctant to bite at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"850\" src=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/fieldherper\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rhinochilus-lecontei-_0024-Edit-1200x850.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/fieldherper\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rhinochilus-lecontei-_0024-Edit-1200x850.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/fieldherper\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rhinochilus-lecontei-_0024-Edit-752x533.jpg 752w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/fieldherper\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rhinochilus-lecontei-_0024-Edit-768x544.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/fieldherper\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rhinochilus-lecontei-_0024-Edit-1536x1089.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/fieldherper\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rhinochilus-lecontei-_0024-Edit-2048x1451.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A close of of a Longnosed Snake&#8217;s namesake.
