They are very mellow, not high strung like I thought they would be, they are all over in my neck of the woods/cactus, the Mojaves are the really high strung snakes I would think they wouldn't do to well in captivity, of the WDBs I have one will snap at you just walking by her cage, and the other just watches you, maybe it thinks you are it's pet. I have yet to see any banded rock rattlesnakes. Arizona is the second best best place for road herping I have ever been. The best place I don't really feel safe at night, there are two many rattlesnakes.
