Interesting, thanks for the suggestions - I'm pretty sure it wasn't the second option, due to the length of the tip.
At first I excluded it was a rattlesnake because it seemed to chunky to be one, and I thought the rattle would have been easier to distinguish.
I didn't get all that close, so even though the rattle appeared to be the same texture of the rest of the body, maybe it wasn't, and maybe it had lost it.
By looking at this picture http://i1.treknature.com/photos/7561/diamondback-rattlesnake.jpg
that is exactly how it was pointing the tip, although the body looked allot chunkier.
