No, the Great Basin rattlesnake, the subspecies of the western rattlesnake in northern Nevada (Crotalus oreganus lutosus). See www.ndow.org/wild/concerns/safety/snake/NV_Ven_rept.pdf
from the Nevada Dept. of Wildlife.
We have our dogs immunized against rattlesnakes; unfortunately, the vaccine is for the Western Diamondback, but according to the vet there's enough cross-immunity between the different species to make it worthwile.
