Colorado Desert Sidewinder

Colorado Desert Sidewinders (Crotalus cerastes laterorepens) inhabit the sandy desert flats and dunes of Southwestern Arizona and California. This large adult was found sitting outside a kangaroo rat burrow in the mid morning near Yuma. It's amazing how well they blend into the sand as they lay in ambush.
