Rattlesnake Coiled in the Desert Coloring Page

A coiled rattlesnake lifts its head, flicks its forked tongue, and shakes a segmented rattle. Tall cacti, scattered rocks, tufts of grass, and sandy hills fill the desert setting.

Color choices

Rattlesnake scales can begin with sandy tan across the broad coils and warm brown on the outlined patches. Use cream for the belly bands, then combine rust and gold along the raised neck and tail. Color the rattle amber, the tongue deep red, and the eyes dark brown. Finish the cacti in green, with muted ochre rocks and a pale blue sky for contrast.

Desert Scale Pattern

Use a repeating color sequence across the belly bands and vary the shades inside the body patches. Carry related tones into the rattle and desert rocks for a coordinated scene.

Printing tips

Rattlesnake Coiled in the Desert Coloring Page has about 124 separate areas to color, a medium level of detail. Crayons work for the larger shapes, and colored pencils or fine markers help in the smaller spaces.

The PDF fills one US Letter page. On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page” so the frame stays inside the margins, and print one test copy before making a class set.
