Mojave rattlesnake is a highly venomous and dangerous pit viper species found in the southwestern United States and central Mexico. It is perhaps best known for its potent venom, which is considered one of the world's most potent rattlesnake venom. These snakes have a heavy body and a large triangular head. Their color varies from shades of brown to pale green depending on the surroundings. The green hue found among Mojave rattlesnakes has led to them being known as "Mojave greens" in some areas. They also have a dark diamond pattern along their back and the light postocular stripe that passes behind the corner of the mouth.
