A very well-fed Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox), stopping by for a brief visit.
Three rattlesnakes (small, medium and large) have made their appearance in the past week. The large individual in the photograph probably dined on the local population of pack rats. Its skin was quite taut.
Sonoran desert, Pima County, Arizona.
