This location (in the Galiuro Mountains) is probably in the taxon "L. knoblochi," but the paper that split knoblochi from pyromelana had a huge gap in samples between the two "species," including in this area, and there are no known morphological features to tell them apart. Even the genetics isn't diagnostic. (These probably shouldn't have been split, based on the available data.)

Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus ssp. oreganus)Observer
stop4snakesDescription
I saw this big rock and though “that shady area underneath looks like a cozy spot for a snake” and sure enough, when I walk up to it, this girl is sitting underneath! Sooo docile! Didn’t rattle, and slithered back up under the rock when I got too close 🤣 Not aggressive at all.
