I spent the first few years of elementary school living in a small town just outside of Albuquerque, NM. One time in class, they had a dude come in and show us rattlesnake skins and rattlers, and familiarized us with the sound of their rattle, because they're not uncommon out there. I used to play in the mesa all the time, which was considered dangerous because you could run into rattlersnakes and scorpions, but I never saw a rattlesnake. Saw scorpions all the time though. Rattlesnakes are far more dangerous of the two though, so I'm glad I never had any run-ins.
