Your black tail and the one in the OP both have the double diamond pattern. Colors are a little different, but other rattlesnakes of the same species can vary in color too. Mojave has a single diamond or more oval pattern, similar to prairie rattler. The double "snake eyes" pattern is black tail.

Cool snakes. Never knew there were blacktails in Junction (I am assuming Texas).Comment

Lots of them in the hill country. Growing up here in the hill country we killed or had run ins with just as many blacktails as we did diamondbacks.Originally posted by Ag 89 View Post
This link may help some of y’all see it’s a blacktailed rattler as well as see all the different rattle snakes we have here in TX.

Wow! I have buddy that lives off of 27, down from the Valiant Ranch. He raises both venomous and non venomous snakes. Told me he’s never caught a rattlesnake since living there and actively looking for themOriginally posted by diamond10x View PostComment

Hmmm that’s weird, it’s funny you say 27 though. Have a buddy that grew up off 27 between comfort and centerpoint and they’d kill a couple rattlers a year near the house and barn.Originally posted by Hogmauler View PostComment

He’s got about 300 snakes on 10 acres along with three rescue mountain lions and a rescue tiger.Comment

I thought it was a pretty snake, just glad my boy and I didn't run across one while scouting.Comment
