My name is Shadow, and me and my mother were working outside today, and we came across a snake hissing at us i told her to back off fast and we started looking atthe snake closer well im really set on the fact that i sware its a baby rattlersnake but she wont admit im right...so i did wht any dumb 19 year old boy would do....i caught it :) now we got it in a bucket and i got a few pics of it...so can anyone back me up and confirm that this is a baby rattler or not...cause if it is i will take it in and get it devenomized for me to keep....so anyone??

Where exactly are you in California?

I can't see the head real well but my fist guess would be western rattlesnake.
