Crotalus oreganus

Western Rattlesnake
ORDER: SQUAMATA | FAMILY: VIPERIDAE

Overview

The Western Rattlesnake is broadly distributed across western North America. In the Atlas region, this species occurs in coastal and mountain areas from southern California to the low elevation VizcaĆ­no Desert in Baja California Sur. At present, we don't recognize the subspecies C. o. helleri (Southern Pacific Rattlesnake) and wait for future studies to evaluate its validity.
