Santa Catalina Rattlesnake

I happened a show which mentioned the unusual Santa Catalina rattlesnake. Has anyone come across these while working on Catalina? When I was working in the Alberta badlands for the Royal Tyrrell museum we used to sight prairie rattlers fairly often. But it sounds like the Santa Catalina rattlesnake has a very unusual physiology and habits.

That show was probably about the rattleless rattlesnake on Santa Catalina Island, Mexico off the Baja coast. We see plenty of rattlesnakes on Catalina Island, but I don't think they have any major physiological differences than the mainland variety of the southern Pacific rattlesnake.
