Eleven microsatellite loci were isolated from an enriched genomic library from the tiger rattlesnake Crotalus tigris . Average observed heterozygosities in two populations were 0.456 and 0.427, respectively, and mean number of alleles were 7.54 (range 2–14) and 4.72 (range 2–13) respectively. No evidence of linkage disequilibrium was found across pairs of loci. The markers will be used in a long‐term study examining the potential effects of urbanization on population dynamics and connectivity of this species in the mountain ranges surrounding Tucson, Arizona.
