Greene, H. 1988 August 13 out in the middle of the pavement. Never rattled (continued) as we hooked it into a bucket. August 14 Dave, Billie, and I left early and were at Rustler Park to look for Crotalus pricei by 0800. We searched a hillside of scattered crickets in an old burn area, and talus on the adjacent slope - all in bright sun - but saw only Sceloporus scalaris. Then went to the large south-facing slope at Barfoot Lookout - an enormous talus slide. At approx 0900 hr Dave found a huge Crotalus pricei: 530+48 mm, 108g, no palpable food. He saw the snake because it moved, then rattled as it went under a small flat rock. When handled it rattled, bit sideways, and struck at the snake hook; repeatedly cranked for cover, but finally coiled for photos when I covered it with my cap.
