Hello :
With
the onset of spring and warmer weather the Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes are
waking from hibernation, breeding, and slithering about. You probably won't meet up with one of these ornery rascals but stay alert.
Description: The Western
Diamondback is the largest rattlesnake in western North America ranging in size
from 3 to 5 feet. The predominate coloration on those found
in Arizona is greenish brown. The
diamond shapes down its length are dark and the tail has jet-black rings just
before the rattle begins. Below is a picture of this little darling.
Western Diamondback
Rattlesnake
Behavior: The Western Diamondback is venomous and will stand
its ground. It's aggressive and easily excitable yet not
necessarily apt to attack offensively, but is rather defensive in nature. However, don't take any chances on it being passive.
Diet: Its diet consists of
rabbits, mice, rats, gophers, sparrows, and ground squirrels. Sorry,
but
we do not have the professional training to remove snakes. If you have
any
concerns I suggest contacting your local fire department where they have
the
required expertise.
