Rattlesnakes are shy and misunderstood charmers. Many people view rattlesnakes as malicious and aggressive when they are generally shy and use their rattle to avoid a confrontation. Beneficial snakes keep small rodent populations in check. Brian Yatsattie's lovely stichtite reptile has observant eyes from turquoise inlays and a gorgeously sculpted rattle. About 2 7/8" long, 2 1/8" wide and 2" tall.
