Image of Tiger rattlesnake
Description:
This proportionately small-headed, large-rattled snake is always a pleasant surprise to come upon, as it never seems to be especially common. It's venom harbors both hematoxic and neurotoxic properties, and is described as the most potent venom of any snake or rattlesnake in the U.S.
