There are few animals as iconic to the American Southwest as the Diamondback Rattlesnake! Ol’ Rattleback’s shadow reaches back into our history as people, country, and culture as far as we can see. Stories, pictures, paintings, carvings, flags, tattoos, songs, books, if you can name it, the Rattlesnake has left his mark. And that’s just the Rattlesnake! Peel back the layers on human culture around the world and the serpent has been with us through the ages as both friend and foe – depending on who you ask.
So, join us today as we celebrate the snake and their impact on us! We’ve come a long way together and after centuries of learning to live together, we’d like to think that we can learn to do it better so that everyone can get by a little easier! Stop by, learn a little (or a little more) about your snake neighbors. You’ll find they aren’t so scary. In fact, they’re actually pretty cool. And once you know what they’re up to, you might find you like having ‘em about!
