I don't know if you guys have the Mojave Green rattler up there or not but those are the nastiest little mothers I have ever run across in the rattle snake breeds.
They are fast, aggressive and there is no anti venom for them being they are in the viper family.
They look just like the Diamond back, but green.
I was doing a full trot backwards and it was still making an effort to get to me until I blasted it.
Some "experts" say Rattlers don't chase or attack, but I know for fact from being involved with them for decades that is BS. :D
