Arizona Black Rattlesnake

Crotalus cerberus

Like all pit vipers, this snake can detect body heat with the pits beneath its eyes. Small mammals succumb to a swift strike from venom-injecting fangs. Depending on factors like the frequency of its meals, the snake can shed its skin multiple times in one year. Each shed produces a new rattle.
