From Dave on a late November snake relocation call: “Was called out to a home that I’ve been to many times over the years. A rattlesnake was coiled and rattling at the cats at the sliding glass door. As I was preparing to leave,I discovered a smaller Diamondback heading across the driveway and towards the carport. An interesting observation that the basal segment on the smaller gup was yellow, not black.”
– The reference on the rattle color is that the first segment of Western Diamondback Rattlesnake’s rattles is typically all or at least mostly black. This one was a little interesting.
