Baby rattler or...?

[Get415]

Almost stepped on this fucker when I pushed the rock with my bare (sandal) foot. Not sure what it is, no rattler but the head shape looks correct. Just to be safe i smashed it, burned it and now i will light my house on fire and move to Alaska

 

[ltbaney1]

you already did what i was going to suggest. my only suggestion would be to completely remove the head then kill it with fire.

 

[2Driver]

Id say no but then again I didn't know Snap-on made go aheads.

On second glance the head looks pretty viper like.
BTW leave the head on.

Start feeding a couple of these guys in your backyard , they love snakes

Wow ! Haven’t heard the term Go-ahead since my Mom passed …

Gopher Snake...totally harmless, helps maintain rodent populations...

 

[Riverbound]

gopher. One of the few good ones. They look similar to a rattler

 

[2Driver]

I don’t know. Broad triangle head. Baby snake showing first rattle lobe.

 

[Get415]

I should have taken a better pic of the head. Squared jaw for sure but if i killed a gopher i feel bad and did myself a disservice

 

[Mikes56]

If you were that close to it and it didn’t rattle, it wasn’t a rattlesnake.

Did the tail come to a blunt end or did it narrow down real thin? Blunt end it was probably a small rattler.

I assume this is meant to be read after the snake in question has been killed?

 

[Desert Whaler]

Possibly a sidewinder?

 

[MonkeyButt70]

Snakes freak me out, they are my number one phobia.

 

[traquer]

Any smaller animal you don't ever want to see again, this will do the trick lol

Didn't inspect to close but it seemed to be more blunt

It it or was a rattler. This lizard thought otherwise.

LOL Actully picked it up from the guy that showed us around on our first trip to Parker in 1984, classic river rat, he would have been in his 90’s now.

Pops calls em Jap Slaps. I remember getting in trouble at school for saying that along with a game we used to call Smear the Queer. Never even thought about the name, and remember being so confused when I got pulled aside for detention.

I'm thinking.

Desert Nightsnake

​

 

[Havasu Catman]

It is 100% a Rattle Snake. We used to catch them at Chantry Flats in junior high school. They get a new rattle every time they shed. They don't always have a rattle, sometimes they come off. Next shed they will start a new one.

 

[77charger]

Nightsnake most likely and they are mildly venomous but no harm to humans.Their head is a lil more triangular vs a gopher snake.
