Here is a map of the Range of the Green Mojave Sidewinder Rattlesnake

 

Distribution

Mojave rattlesnakes are found in the southwestern United States in southern California, southern Nevada, northern and eastern Nevada, extreme southwestern Utah, most of Arizona, southern New Mexico, and some of Texas. They are commonly found in Riverside, California. They also range southward through much of Mexico to southern Puebla. These snakes live in deserts and other areas with xeric vegetation. They are often found near scrub brush such as sage mesquite and creosote, but may also reside in lowland areas of sparse vegetation, among cacti, Joshua tree forests, or grassy plains. They can also range up the Eastern Sierra as far north as Reno and perhaps beyond into southern Eastern Oregon. Mojave rattlesnakes tend to avoid densely vegetated and rocky areas, preferring open, arid habitats.
