Description
Crotalus tlaloci can be distinguished from similar species of snakes, such as C. triseriatus, by specific scale counts, a proportionately smaller rattle, and a proportionally longer tail. It can also be told apart by a dark narrowing marking near its eye.
Range & habitat
Crotalus tlaloci is known to inhabit open areas in cloud forests and humid oak-pine forests. Usually it inhabits areas with broad-leaf oaks and dense undergrowth.
