Ian, Michael, and Sean hit the Southwest United States alongside Herpetologist Trent Adamson for a chance to encounter the myriad of world-class herpetofauna that has evolved throughout the unique Sonoran Desert over several millennia- specifically seeking out a little-known though indescribably astounding rattlesnake species, the Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake.
The Speckled Rattlesnake has a massive range, from NW Mexico and coastal islands all the way to Nevada & California. Every single snake is unique in a variety of ways, and they often adapt to perfectly match the color of the terrain which is most abundant in their habitat. An untrained eye could stray past hundreds throughout an entire lifetime before spotting one.
While searching for these snakes, the team runs into countless other incredible herps, setting the stage for a cocktail of adventure and once in a lifetime memories.
