Distribution.—The range of this little rattlesnake extends 
from Texas west across New Mexico to southeastern Arizona, 
and south into Mexico. In Arizona, it has been found in the 
Huachuca Mountains in Cochise County (at Fort Huachuca 
and Carr and Ramsey canyons), at Cochise Stronghold in 
the Dragoon Mountains, and at Onion Creek, near Paradise, 
in the Chiricahua Mountains. 
Habits—Mr. Slevin found one crawling up a granite 
boulder on a hillside. Dr. Skinner and Mr. Slevin found 
them on the talus slides where they could often be heard 
rattling underneath stones that had been disturbed. They 
invariably attempted to escape when approached.
