Admittedly this is a bad picture, that I scanned and then zoomed. The picture is about 25 years old. As young boys my brother and I would hunt for critters. This is a rattlesnake we caught as boys and brought home to show our folks, they were not impressed! Even worse we used only an empty milk jug to catch it with. Can't believe we didn't get bit trying to persuade the snake to crawl through 1.5" opening to enter the jug. Dumb-dumb kids!!

Always wondered what kind it was. Caught in San Bernadino, California. Any ideas? Thanks

Looks like part of the "old" C. viridis complex (currently C. oreganus and ssp for those to the west).
I'm fuzzy on the ranges, but I'll take a stab with Southern Pacific
 
I used to keep a lot of hots...but I sold most of that stuff back in the late 90s, just before I left the state (the only thing I kept was a 5.5-6 ft atrox).
