At least that's a start

d_d, you may not like her question, but at least the answer "Based on your explicit description, it was either a timber rattler, a sidewinder, a mojave green, or a speckled rattlesnake. " is a start.
And what's wrong with asking for more information to give as complete an answer as possible?
Isn't this what the forum is supposed to be about? Learning about Death Valley? It's the information you may or may not have that helps everyone else to gain more knowledge about the area. Not everyone is lucky enough to have all the answers. And the question beats the heck out of some of the comments posted. Your answer was a lot more helpful that those posted before. NOt only does she get a starting point, to do more research, but you have helped to inform others who may be just as uninformed as she was.
Now don't you feel better knowing you helped someone today?
Smile.
