That second snake is a racer. Google black or blue racer for more info. They are good snakes to have around for rodents and other snakes.
Best of luck, Scott

There is an abundance of timber rattlers up by hagerman.
Second snake is a yellow belly racer.

Timber rattler - they have all been flooded out again near Hagerman. You will probably see more.
Def a Racer, most likely a yellow-bellied. Cool snakes. Good for rodent and pest control. Fun to play with to. I put one in my golf cart one time and he just curled up and sat there until he smelled prey and slithered off.

Looks a little like a pygmy rattler I had in my yard. You can tell the difference between a Timber Rattler and a Pygmy Rattler if the end of tail has one smaller button not a full rattle. "You may hear a soft buzzing sound from the tiny rattle on the end of the snake's tail. The sound only becomes audible when a snake is a few feet (about 1/2 meter) away. The snake ranges from 15 to 30 inches (38 to 78 centimeters) in length."
