Sidewinder

This snake was found side windin' across a back desert road. I absolutely love seeing these guys in the wild. It never gets old!

Sidewinder. The only snake faster than a black mamba; it can travel at up to 18 miles per hour. They slither differently from other snakes to avoid being hurt by hot sand.
