Abstract

Two instances of rainwater-harvesting behavior by the rock rattlesnake, Crotalus lepidus, are reported. The first observation was of a male collecting water from rain and sleet on 16 February 2008, and the second observation involved another male collecting rainwater on 11 July 2008. The observations took place within a Chihuahuan Desert landscape located in extreme southeastern Hudspeth County, Texas.
