Re: Snake ID

Not sure, but it does seem to be a rattler. Head shape is right and the tail is blurry, but does look like it ends in a rattle.

Re: Snake ID

After some consulting with my roomie/partner.... Southern Pacific Rattler seems to fit.

Re: Snake ID

I'm not familiar with California herps, but a google search leads me to believe it looks like a juvenile southern pacific rattlesnake, but take what I say with a grain of salt because I have no idea.

Southern Pacific Rattlesnake - Crotalus oreganus helleri
