It very well could have been a mojave green, just a little difficult to tell from that photo. Not that I blame you for not getting any closer to find out. In fact, that was a very intelligent decision.

The Mojave rattlesnake can easily be mistaken for the Western Diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox), which inhabits an overlapping range. They both have well-defined light-edged diamonds down the middle of their backs. The diamond pattern fades towards the last third of the Mojave Rattlesnake, whereas the diamonds continue to the tail in the Western Diamondback. The tail of the Mojave has contrasting light and dark rings. The white rings are much wider than the black rings, while the Diamondbacks have thick black rings.

Same snake, you make your own mind on whether it's a Mojave or a Western Diamondback

It's usually pretty hard for me to make that differentiation while I'm running away screaming like a girl. I leave the determination for the "experts"!

I have heard him scream! He's not kidding.
Once I watched him catch a 17+ pound Pond trout and he nearly broke my eardrums........&# 46;Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
