The 12 venomous snakes come first: Arizona Black Rattlesnake, Banded Rock Rattlesnake, Eastern Black-tailed Rattlesnake, Mojave Rattlesnake, Mottled Rock Rattlesnake, New Mexico Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake, Prairie Rattlesnake, Sidewinder Rattlesnake, Tiger Rattlesnake, Western Black-tailed Rattlesnake, Western Coral Snake, Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake, Western Massasauga. The rest follow from A to Z, each with a photo where we have one and a short note on where it lives in New Mexico. The chart prints on letter or A4 paper; on screen, open any name on the New Mexico snakes page for photos, range and sources.

A picture cannot confirm what an animal is or that it is safe. Never handle a wild animal.
