Southernmost Montane (Small-bodied) Rattlesnake

Post by HERP.MX »

This Crotalus ravus brunneus from the cloud-forests of the Sierra Madre del Sur of southern Oaxaca represents the southernmost population of small-bodied montane rattlesnake on the planet. Found in the mountains near San Augustín Loxicha, Oaxaca, these snakes are further south than Jamaica, most of the country of Belize, the northern half of Guatemala, and at about the same latitude as the northernmost tip of Honduras.
