A couple of western diamondback rattlesnakes showed no signs of social distancing as they had a tense fight over a female in North Texas bluebonnet patch this spring.
says the western diamondback is one of 10 rattlesnake species found in Texas, and that it's the most common and widespread venomous snake found in the state. It is found everywhere in Texas, with exception of the eastern part of the state.
Spring time in many parts of Texas means the bloom of bluebonnets, Indian paintbrushes and other wildflowers. Roads and highways can often be seen with cars parked along the side and people taking bluebonnet photos with family, friends, children and even pets.The video shot and posted in the TPWD social media feed was taken in Cedar Hill, which is a suburb south of Dallas, and an area rich in springtime wildflowers.
TPWD suggests that people not kill snakes, even the venomous ones, as they each play a"valuable function in the environment."
