128 | Ornate Black-tailed Rattlesnake

Dr. Jenkins sits down for part two of his conversation with Dr.
James Emerson of Texas State University. In this episode, they
dive into James’ research on Crotalus ornatus, the
recently reclassified eastern species of Black-tailed Rattlesnake
found in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas. Despite its unique
status, C. ornatus remains largely understudied. James
shares insights from his fieldwork, including movement patterns,
habitat use, diet, and more.
