Why does he have the sunken groove running down his back?
Very crisp pics, nice shots....

i think its just loose skin from hibernating or mabe from dropin a fresh clutch but i didnt find any baby around.

Very cool. What species are they?

I was trying to figure out what species myself.

to the best of my knowledge i believe the top one is a mojave, then a northern pacific, and the baby is a massasuaga. i found a really nice great basin today, also, i'll post picks asap.

The top snake is a Great Baisin rattlesnake and the other two are Northern Pacific rattlesnakes. Neither massassaugas nor Hopi rattlesnakes occur naturally in Nevada.
