That’s a cool looking rattler. What species is it?

Looks like a pygmie to me. We get a lot of those down here. They are fiesty at times, usually sleeping on the trails at 0500.

It isn’t, not native to Colorado. It’s a prairie rattlesnake.

I saw what i think was prairie rattler in WY. Ornery critter.

How did it taste??

I used to have a really old cookbook with a few rattlesnake recipes. "Prairie Shrimp" was one of them. I felt like that was a pretty accurate description of the couple I have eaten.

Not much going on but they weren't bad on the grill.

Eastern Oklahoma western diamondback. He was huge pushing 6ft and its head was as big as my fist.

Most I’ve met stand their ground and are aggressive.

While this dude is not a rattlesnake, he was doing his best impression and clearly pissed off that I almost stepped on him.
