Western Rattlesnake Poster – Wildlife Art

Western Rattlesnake Poster

The Western Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus) – also called the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake – is a venomous pit viper found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Like other rattlesnakes, these reptiles are ambush predators and use heat-sensing pits in the front of their faces to locate prey. They inject venom to immobilize prey before swallowing it whole.

The Western Rattlesnake poster features highly detailed and scientifically accurate illustrations, along with information about the animal and a map showing it’s range. The artistic design is complete with both common and scientific names in a title across the top of the image. The poster is shipped in a sturdy 2″ mailing tube with plastic endcaps. The posters can be signed or customized by the artist upon request.
