My first black tail and it was a really nice one! Found crawling onto the road just before sunset. Was relatively defensive for a black-tail and it started rattling almost immediately.

It looks like a rattlesnake. It moves like a rattlesnake. It coiled up like a rattlesnake.

But it doesn’t have a rattle. This is the second one in this area that we spotted with a blackened tail and no rattle.

Thoughts?

Got buzzed by this one in the wash just west of the homestead. Didn't get a great look at it- was heading for cover immediately, but I think it's a black-tailed?
