Great Basin Rattle Snake (Crotalus viridus lotus)
 The Great Basin Rattle Snake is a reptile that lives in rocky, brushy desert in Nevada. Adults can grow to about 4-5 feet in length and they feed on other reptiles, eggs, birds, and small mammals. Rattlesnakes use their tongues and pits in their heads to sense heat and vibration for finding food and avoiding danger. Shy and solitary, they tend to slither away and strike at people only when cornered or startled.
