Rattlesnake Illustration - Detailed Black-and-White Snake Drawing #230496 (License: Personal Use)

This bold ink illustration depicts a Western diamondback rattlesnake in a classic defensive coil, tail raised with rattle vibrating. The artist uses cross-hatching and geometric scale patterns to convey texture and movement, while the open mouth and flicking tongue emphasize aggression and warning behavior. Signed “MC” in the lower right, it balances scientific accuracy with expressive linework.
