Baby rattlesnake near Las Vegas temple

I was walking my dog early in the morning in June 2022 near Frenchman mountain in east Las Vegas when I saw a little snake. There are often cute little Western Ground Snakes that are orange & black with slender heads and harmlessly eat bugs. This baby snake was different. I went home to get a box & gloves to maybe catch it and put it further away from civilization. After saying a prayer, God put some sense into me to just leave it alone. You can hear a little rattle at the 22 second mark. Hopefully it will work it’s way up the mountain or maybe a roadrunner or a car will get this dangerous rattlesnake. I think it was warming itself on the warm asphalt. Later, when I was not observing, it disappeared, maybe into the nearby bush. After sunrise I warned the gardener I saw working in this area & texted him the full footage. I edited 2 videos into this one for Rumble.
