Must be a really popular

snake of southern New Mexico, and I have
seen them often throughout Arizona.
Come to think of it, I even saw one in
American Fork Canyon of northern Utah,
when I was touring a cave with my nephew.
I always follow the philosophy,
"Rattlesnakes won't bother you if you
don't bother them." Thank you, Ray !!

Re: Must be a really popular

Larry, I've only come across these several times. But I think your philosophy is probably accurate with few exceptions.
