Animal Name: Medusa
Species: Prairie Rattlesnake
Crotalus viridis viridis
Sex: Male
Comments: I was told this is a Prairie Rattlesnake found in Eastern Washington or a Western rattlesnakes or Crotalus viridis....
Rattlesnakes in Eastern Washington are Western rattlesnakes or Crotalus viridis. Several subspecies of Western rattlers inhabit western and midwest states such as the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake or Crotalus viridis oreganus in Washington, Oregon and California; prairie rattlesnake or Crotalus viridis viridis inhabiting a swath east of the Rocky Mountains from the Dakotas to Texas, and Great Basin rattlesnake or Crotalus viridis lutosus and others inhabiting the desert southwest.

Nice looking animal :) Although Crotalus viridis oreganus has been promoted to its own species, Crotalus oreganus. Some of the other viridis subspecies were moved over to the oreganus family tree, and are now oreganus subspecies. The info you have is fairly outdated.
