If you watch VenomER on Animal Planet, this is one of the two species responsible for most snakebite cases admitted to Loma Linda hospital in S.Cal, along w/ Mojave Green rattler.

Nice snake. I noticed the date of the post being in Dec. Was the photo take in in December as well? And yes I agree that it is a Southern Pacific Rattler.

How long would you say this animal was? What kind of environment did you discover it, or it discover you in?

It was a good 4.5-5ft long. It was up by lake Casitas near Ventura, CA. Rolling dry hills, also some wooded areas. The snake found us sitting at a picnic table at a grassy area around the lake. It was a beauty.
