Hi,

According to Amphibians & Reptiles of New Mexico you have;

C. atrox - Diamondback rattlesnake
C. molossus - Blacktail rattlesnake
C. viridis - Prairie rattlesnake
and last but not least
Sistrurus catenatus - Massasauga rattlesnake

If you're lucky enough to see any of these critters in the wild, enjoy but PLEASE be careful.
