Colder nighttime temperatures signal it is time for a turquoise-eyed rattlesnake to seek a safe underground shelter. This wondrous creature is engagingly carved from a Picasso marble that's hued like the desert by Nelson Yatsattie. Detailed with beautifully patterned scales, nostrils and a rattler, snakes are both predator and prey providing a necessary balance to healthy ecosystems. Their animal medicine teaches us to improve ourselves by discarding negative ways because in nature they regularly shed their old skin to be better. Measurements of this stunning reptile are approximately 3 1/4" tall, roughly 2 1/4" wide and 2 1/2" deep.
