Great Basin Rattlesnake


Great Basin Rattlesnake - It seems that the rattlesnakes are out in abundance this spring. Out of four snakes we had spotted on our morning drive, this was the third rattlesnake that we had seen.



Snake Prevention 101
1. Most bites result from deliberate harassment so try and avoid disturbing, removing, holding, playing, or posing with snakes.


  • 2. Wear high sturdy boots not flipflops or thongs.
  • 3. Be alert and aware of your surroundings.
