I wonder if the markings were not for a fer de lance or a jumping pitviper marking. They are vicious and present in central america, but I am not aware of diamond back rattlesnake territory ranging to there or even much into Mexico.
You are probably right...I just figured with the markings it was a diamondback...
This is the exact kind of general interest story I like here on FR. This way, I don’t have to think or dwell on our massively corrupt government and that harridan running to be the head of it.

I’m in Belize and have killed a rattler on the front porch, but my rock missed the fer de lance (known locally as the Tommy Goff) earlier in the tool shed.
