Road Trip To New Mexico For Banded Rock Rattlesnakes

With a few targets in mind, we set out for New Mexico. This was my first time hitting anything other than the western portion of New Mexico.

We struck out on Trans-Peco Ratsnakes (Bogertophis subocularis) but we found a few Eastern Black-Tailed Rattlesnakes (Crotalus ornatus) which are awesome snakes and our ultimate goal, Banded Rock Rattlesnakes (Crotalus lepidus klauberi). The last snake of the trip might be the most beautiful snake I've ever seen in the wild. I'm writing this mid-winter, can't wait for things to warm up!

Oh and road-cruising a Desert Box Turtle (Terrapene ornata luteola) was a huge bonus for me!
