Those are some awesome shots Kris. I love the shot of the Willardi. It’s a new species to me. The markings on its head remind me a bit of the Cantil; though I guess they’re barely related beyond their pit viper status.



Here’s what Wikipedia had to say:

“[C. willardi] is the most recent rattlesnake species to be discovered in the United States… Wooded mountain ranges, primarily in the southwest, are where this reclusive species is found. Each subspecies’ range is limited to select mountain ranges, making human encounters rare events.”
