The most toxic rattlesnake in North America is the Mojave rattlesnake, known as the Mojave green for its light green coloration. Its bite is particularly deadly A guy told me that this snake is a mix of Cobra and Rattlesnake, with the poison of both. Something about a bunch of cobras a guy had some decades back that got lose in the Mojave and interbred with the local rattlers.

Is this possible?

No, the Mojave Green is a type of rattlesnake, but unlike the Western Diamondback, the Mojave green is territorial,..that means he might actually come out of his hole and chase you if you are in his territory.
Marines up at 29 Palms used to hunt them down because they would fetch $200/copy when you turned them over to the medical authorities so they could develop antivenom for them.
