    1. Reviewed by Joe Newsome    Jul 11, 2001

    Action: changed name from "Crotalus atrox" to "Crotalus ruber "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "Appears to be Red diamond rattlesnake, not Western diamondback. Reddish color and the shape of diamonds are the best clues, also, C. ruber is found throughout Baja while C. atrox is confined to the NE corner
