While the busiest month for rattlesnake bites is now over, Arizona officials are warning people who are out and about in the warm weather that rattlers are out there, too.

Thirty-nine people in Arizona have been bitten by rattlesnakes in 2020, the Arizona Game and Fish Department says.

Arizona is home to 13 species of rattlesnakes, with eight or nine species living in Southeastern Arizona, depending on how the region is defined.

They range far and wide — from deserts, canyons and forests to urban backyards.
