Midget-faded rattlesnake, Crotalus oreganus concolor

A light brown rattlesnake with darker brown blotches on its back sits coiled atop some gravel.

The midget-faded rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus concolor) is a subspecies of the Western rattlesnake. This small snake possesses one of the most toxic venoms of any venomous snake native to the United States. Midget-faded rattlesnakes are difficult to tell apart from other rattlesnakes by appearance alone, but they are far more common than the larger prairie rattlesnake in Dinosaur National Monument.
