Watch where you walk. Be aware that they will seek cool and damp places so check under your rig (we had a nest of baby rattlesnakes under our MH once). If you are bitten, get emergency help right away. Some species of AZ rattlers are highly venomous. Chances are good that you won't see one at all, however.
