Sorry, miss-clicked Northern Pacific 🙄 Obv, this is southern. Thank you all for spotting the correction 👍🏻
This rattlesnake was found under the same metal sheet as two rattlesnakes I saw almost exactly 6 hours earlier. Both those snakes were gone, and this one now took their place.
Here's the link for the snakes I saw earlier that day:

These are the same two individuals found 3 days earlier under the same metal sheet.

The larger snake is unusual because it lacks the horn-like supraoculars, giving it a "buggy-eyed" face.
