Obviously it’s not, but these groundsnakes get into houses a lot, and “baby rattlesnake” is what the people who call my snake removal service often tell me it is. The baby they describe is actually full-sized at a little over a foot long, and can get anywhere scorpions can. This one wasn’t found in a kitchen, but crossing a road in a mountainous area North of Phoenix.
Sonoran Groundsnake, Sonora semiannulata
