Critters are fascinating, but desert critters can be downright dangerous. The desert climate of Moab is home to rattlesnakes, a few scorpions, and even black widows. Never reach under rocks, overhangs, or undercuts - there could be a midget rattlesnake under there. These small snakes are much more poisonous than the huge diamondbacks found in the Eastern United States. Be aware - rattlers also like small scrub and brushes - they have been spotted under plants a mere 6" high!!
