The movave rattler is one bad hombre. The ones I've seen have a light green tint to help them blend in, and they can get big. Real big.
The last time I saw one was in Johnson valley out in the mohave desert (go figure).
We were motorcycle riding and my buddy saw the smake first. I stopped to check it out and I was about 10 feet away from the snake when it started towards me. As I backed up he kept coming after me and he was moving at a pretty good clip. I was too by that time.
I retreated about 30 feet before I decided I'd had just about enough crap from a snake and I got a big rock and bashed him several times. My buddy and I ended up eating it so I didnt kill it for no reason.
Diamondbacks and sidewinders don't bother me but a mohave green is a different story. Just plain mean.
