This is an older photo, from one of my first trips to the extreme South Eastern part of Arizona. We found this very dark Mojave rattlesnake … dark enough in fact that I really had no idea what it was, and wasn’t experienced enough to not rule out that something I wasn’t aware of had crossed the Mexican border, which sat maybe a mile to the South. It’s a silly thought now, but it was pretty exciting at the time. Regardless, it’s still one of the coolest mojave’s I’ve seen.
