🐍Crotalus scutulatus
Crotalus scutulatus é uma cobra altamente venenosa da família Viperidae, subfamília Crotalinae, encontrada nos desertos do sudoeste dos Estados Unidos e no interior do México. É talvez mais conhecida por produzir dois tipos de veneno distintos em diferentes populações. É comumente conhecida como cascavel-do-Mojave. Campbell e Lamar (2004) apresentam certa relutância para o nome em inglês Mohave rattlesnake (cascavel-do-Mojave), pois grande parte da distribuição da serpente está fora do deserto de Mojave. Duas subespécies são atualmente reconhecidas: a subespécie amplamente distribuída Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus e C. scutulatus salvini que ocorre em uma área relativamente pequena no interior do México.
