Meet the Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake.
In Texas, this is the most widespread rattlesnake. Black-and-white bands sit just ahead of its rattle. You'll usually find it in desert, scrub and grassland. Its diet includes rodents and rabbits.
This is a venomous snake. Watch from a distance, give it a clear escape route, and leave identification to a professional. Never try to handle it.
