## Caption

Photo by javier_aznar_photography | The red diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus ruber) is a protected species and one of the most range-restricted U.S. rattlesnakes, occurring in the extreme southwest of California and Baja California, Mexico. I observed several snakes in the desert on that day, but this one had a special charm. Follow me javier_aznar_photography for more images and stories about snakes. #rattlesnake #diamondback #california
