Think Pink!
Rocky hillsides of the desert mountains in southern Arizona, New Mexico and Texas are where the small Rock Rattlesnake can be found. They average around two feet long as adults. The ground color of these banded serpents usually blends in with their stony surroundings. Chalky light gray specimens can be found on limestone slopes while pinkish ones live among igneous bolders. Other populations include whitish, tan, brown and even green individuals. They can be found basking on ledges on warm mornings or in the late afternoon waiting in ambush for their favorite food, lizards.
