It is a rattlesnake of some sort; not small.

Can anyone provide more information from these pics?

Either Crotalus ruber (Red Diamond Rattlesnake) or Crotalus atrox (Western Diamondback). Hard to tell from that distance. Looks like ruber, but without something else in the picture to gauge the color balance of the photo...

What goes up must come down...unless it exceeds escape velocity.

I also agree that it's one of those two. If it was found somewhere in the extreme southwestern portion of California, or southward throughout Baja California del Norte and the upper half of Baja California del Sur, Mexico, then it's a Crotalus ruber. Otherwise, it's a Western Diamondback (Crotalus atrox).

it was found in the desert foothills in north scottsdale, AZ.

In that case, it is absolutely a Western Diamondbaxk (Crotalus atrox) They are quite common in AZ.

Thanks,.......yes, then as the other poster mentioned, a definite Western Diamondback (Crotalus atrox).

Also, from what I see, it doesn't seem to be more than a few feet long judging from the dirt road path it is crossing. The void in between the car tire paths on either side isn't more than a couple feet wide.

cheers, ~Doug
