Links Pictures Venom 10 Deadliest Snakes ... Events This page is in no way comprehensive and is only intended to give a brief overview into the keeping of venomous animals. It is also here to show you that snakes are only animals. Some pretty, some not, they are just animals. Although these types of animals are dangerous, they are also very interesting. They are often a challenge to maintain and/or breed. It makes keeping them that much more satisfying. If you are thinking about getting into 'hot' herps, you should really think deeply about why you want to keep venomous animals....if you want one because it would scare your friends, or you need to show them how cool you are, you may want to rethink it. Possibly losing a limb or dying would be a high cost to pay! Take a look at this Western Diamondback bite to see what kind of consequences a bite may have. Responsibility is a must.

Rattlesnakes Genus Crotalus Click photos to enlarge. Throughout the world there are many snakes whose venomous bite can be fatal to humans. However, in the United States there are only four the Coral Snake, the Copperhead, the Cottonmouth Water Moccasin and the Rattlesnake. The rattlesnake (genus Crotalus ) is the only venomous snake native to California, but other venomous snakes make their home in the deserts of the American Southwest. Description Rattlesnakes come in 16 distinct varieties. There are numerous subspecies and color variations, but they are all positively identified by the jointed rattles on the tail. While most of the rattlers are concentrated in the southwestern United States, they extend north, east and south in diminishing numbers and varieties, so that every contiguous state has one or more varieties. Range The Pacific Rattlesnake is found throughout a variety of places in the California, from sea level on the Pacific Ocean, the inland prairies and desert areas, to the mountains at elevations of more than 10,000 feet. Along the coast north of southern California, the Pacific Rattlesnake has the territory all to itself. In Southern California the Pacific rattler overlaps the range of several other species and subspecies, except that of the large Western Diamondback rattler along the Colorado River and the southeastern California deserts.

The Wichita Eagle Thursday, Apr 10, 2003 Posted on Thu, Jun. 06, 2002 Rattler bites serve as reminder that snakes love warm weather BY BECCY TANNER The Wichita Eagle Within the past two weeks, emergency room physicians at Wesley Medical Center have treated two rattlesnake bite victims. That's twice as many as last year. Rod Staats, an emergency room physician at Wesley, said he treated an 8-year-old who had stepped on a small rattlesnake in rural Butler County. "There were fang marks on the toe. The foot was swollen," Staats said. "We put him in pediatric intensive care to monitor him." Although the child will recover, Staats said people must be watchful. "In this area, rattlesnakes are the big poisonous snake," Staats said. "The best advice is just to stay away from snakes." Still, Statts has been at the hospital 14 years and has treated only eight bite victims. Kansas snake experts say snakes are the real victims. Eugene Fleharty, biology professor at Fort Hays State University, wrote in the spring 1998 issue of Kansas History that early settlers would sometimes kill hundreds if not thousands of snakes in one setting, adopting the philosophy that "the only good snake was a dead snake." Most early farmers killed the snakes, until they realized that the reptiles helped keep the rodent population under control.

8. Local News - Snakes Alive! snakes alive! Reporter fulfills dream of capturing a rattler. By Stephen Deere http://texnews.com/1998/2001/local/alive0311.html

Home News Obituaries Sports ... Webmaster Reporter-News Archives Sunday, March 11, 2001 Snakes alive! Reporter fulfills dream of capturing a rattler By Stephen Deere Reporter-News Staff Writer Then the snake retreats back into its den. We wait, fascinated, hoping the gas fumes our guide has sprayed into the den will do their job. For about an hour, we have peered under crevices and scampered through red mud and cedar trees beneath overcast skies in 50-degree weather. I grew up hunting dove, quail and turkey in West Texas. My father and his hunting companions had always warned me about rattlers. I wondered how would I react if snake suddenly appeared nearby. On one spot we hunted during my high school years, a rancher kept two rattlers in an aquarium. For fun, I tapped on glass enticing the snakes to strike, and watched as the fangs clashed and venom ran down the thin pane separating me from them. When the rancher told me about rattler hunting, it seemed like thrill with an interesting balance. They looked fairly relaxed, clearing paths through the snake pits by brushing rattlers aside with their boots as if they were toy poodles. Occasionally, one would strike, but its fangs failed to penetrate the chaps the handlers wore.

Timber Rattlesnake Artwork by Robert Porter Art Teacher-Hampton High School (Click drawing to hear the rattlers warning sound) Timber Rattlesnake Crotalus horridus horridus Canebrake Rattlesnake Crotalus horridus atricaudatus Albino canebrake With permission from Mardi Snipes Timber Rattlesnakes are non aggressive with a reluctance to bite, but have highly toxic venom. Timber Rattlesnakes are between 3 feet and 5 feet in length. Males of the species will generally be greater in size than will the females. Their coloration will range from blackish, pinkish, yellowish or grayish with bent, dark, cross bands aligned with the dorsal length of the body. A reddish stripe runs between the crossbands. The tail is black. The snake is divided into two subspecies, Canebrake ( Crotalus horridus atricaudatus ) and Timber ( Crotalus horridus horridus . The Timber will be found in the mountains and will not have the mid-dorsal stripe. The Canebrake will be found in the Coastal Plain and the Piedmont area of the nation. The Canebrakes have darker markings. There is some disagreement about dividing the species into subspecies. Scales are ridged and give the snake an appearance of being rough-skinned. The timber rattler has a triangular head and many small scales on the crown of the head.

10. Snakes! that this desert was home to many critters, not the least of these was the westerndiamondback rattler. Over the years I have watched the snakes in fascination http://www.carefreeenterprise.com/snakes/

Have to be Snakes? So far this year, I have seen more snakes than usual. The ongoing drought and the tremendous amount of development going on all around the Valley are, I suspect, two of the reasons for the increase. When we built our home here in 1978, we saw many snakes. Building on virgin desert previously untouched by man, we discovered that this desert was home to many critters, not the least of these was the western diamondback rattler. Over the years I have watched the snakes in fascination and I have come to a better understanding of these creatures. It is very likely that you might encounter western diamondback rattlesnakes at any time of the year, even during cooler winter months. Remember, even with cold nights, with few exceptions daytime temperatures warm up enough for snakes to come out and sun themselves. Always use caution when hiking or rock climbing, no matter the season. All rattlesnakes bear their young live, in litters of six to two dozen. Born with all instincts intact, they can survive on their own shortly after birth.

Species Spotlight Florida's Venomous Snakes There are two types of venomous snakes in Florida. The Crotalidae or pit vipers and the Elapidae. The Crotalidae are readily identified by the facial pits, one located between the eye and nostril on each side of the head. The elliptical eye pupil and broad, roughly V-shaped head are other identifying features of this group. Included in the family are the diamondback rattlesnake, canebrake rattlesnake, pigmy rattlesnake, cottonmouth, and the copperhead. The venom of these snakes is haemotoxic, that is, it destroys the red blood cells and the walls of the blood vessels of the victim. The Elapidae, represented in Florida by the coral snake, have neurotic venom. This attacks the nervous system of a victim, bringing on paralysis. Six Venomous Snakes in Florida Diamondback Rattlesnakes Canebrake Rattlesnake Pygmy Rattlesnake Cottonmouth ... Non-venomous Snakes Diamonback Rattle Snakes The eastern diamondback is the largest and most dangerous of our native snakes. It also ranks high on the list of poisonous snakes of the world. Its large body size, quantity of venom, aggressive defensive tactics and tremendous striking speed make this snake one to be treated with extreme caution. The diamondback is recognized by a distinctive pattern of yellow-bordered diamond-shaped body markings. Brittle, button-shaped segments form a rattling mechanism at the end of the tail. The arrow-shaped head is much wider than the neck.

The Rattlers Cage By Art Jones In 1939, when I was a high school junior, I managed to acquire a job as a “guide” at the Reptile Gardens in the Black Hills of South Dakota, a business started in 1938 by a man who spent his lifetime as a successful tourist entrepreneur. Guides were trained in the rudiments of herpetology and got a crash course in human nature. Our job was directing visitors around the snake pits, providing a lecture, and answering all questions. The pits were simply 10-foot square frame constructions dug into the ground, with a roof and an open side with a rail, designed only for summertime use. Visitors could lean on the rail as their guide jumped into the pit to talk about the creepy crawly creatures in that location. We all developed our own special techniques of becoming masters of the situation and working for the best tips possible at the end of the tour. Any given group of travelers could be counted on to repeat the same questions at each of the stops where we described the residents of that enclosure. We soon were aware of the importance of eye contact when we talked, to make visitors feel we were talking to them personally. One of the display pits was devoted to Crotalus Adamanteus, the Eastern Diamond Back rattlesnake native to Florida. These were large snakes, about the size of a man’s wrist, and four to five feet in length. Drop for drop, their venom was not much more deadly than other snakes, but they had an enormous venom sac. This was responsible for their deadlier position in the hierarchy of rattlesnake bites—they just injected more poison into the system of whatever creature they bit.

Once threatened with extinction due to poaching and loss of habitat, alligators have survived in the more remote areas of our coastal region. Mature female alligators gather vegetation and construct mound-like nests in which they lay 40-60 white leathery eggs. Young alligators feed on insects, frog and fish. Adult alligators eat insects, frogs, fish, snakes, turtles, birds, small mammals, and occasionally even deer. Of the 37 species of snakes found in NC, six are venomous and live in the coastal plain. They are the Eastern Coral, Eastern Cottonmouth

New York state is home to 17 species of snakes. These animals, whose tubular, limbless bodies are instantly and universally recognized, produce mixed reactions among people, from fear to fascination. Serpents figure prominently in the mythologies of nearly all human cultures; however, only in Christian religions are they a symbol of evil and temptation. It is perhaps for this reason that snakes often are persecuted and killed without any understanding of their true nature. Snakes play critical roles in the environments where they occur, primarily by the position they hold in food webs in natural communities. Many snakes are top level predators; for example, a single rat snake can consume over 100 rodents a year.

Slippery Snakes By Maryalice Yakutchik There's an old adage that snakes don't like the wind. If it's a blustery evening, the thinking goes, snakes won't be out and about. But firsthand observation in the field has a way of ferreting out folklore from fact. Tonight, Howard has located an Aruba Island rattler contentedly coiled at the mouth of a tunnel of acacia, braving a stiff breeze. "She's on a very windy point and doesn't care," Howard says of the snake, dubbed Bel 58. Howard tracked down Bel 58 at about the same time as he found a more elusive member of his snake study, a male called Bel 74. Despite the transmitter implanted under its skin, Bel 74 had recently gone missing. Tonight, Howard detected a reassuring chirp on the frequency assigned to Bel 74 within moments of emerging from his jeep, unfolding his antenna and starting his search. But after a 30-minute hike, our scratched up legs and arms felt like they had been chewed up and spit out by a minefield of acacia. And Bel 74's signal was once again lost. Howard had a hunch that the confusion and signal problems might be caused by two snakes that had been assigned similar frequencies, and that now inhabited the same area. So Gianluca Rocco, a seasoned research assistant who just arrived from Pennsylvania, headed back to the jeep to retrieve a second antenna and receiver.

19. Snakes In Paradise -- Animal Planet -- Snake, Dispatch In all these years, just two snakes have died on him — one rattler and one blackrat snake — both as a result of overdosing on an injectable anesthetic http://animal.discovery.com/convergence/snakes/dispatches/dispatch.html

Rattlesnake Resuscitation By Maryalice Yakutchik Now, in hindsight, it would have been handy had he ordered a cocktail, if for no other reason than to save the tiny straw. "I thought I saw one around here somewhere," Howard says, sifting through the supplies in his hotel-room-cum-surgical suite at the Coconut Inn. He finds packets of syringes and dozens of tiny vials full of deep red rattlesnake blood, but no straw (or similar tube) through which he can ventilate the record-sized Aruba Island rattler (92.5 centimeters and 680 grams) laying limply on the table. The problem is, Howard observes, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. About an hour ago, Bel 130 went peacefully to sleep on an anesthesia-soaked cotton ball pillow in a cozy (okay, airtight) plastic shoe box He makes a meticulous inch-long incision into her body cavity and implants a tiny (9-gram) radio transmitter protectively coated in paraffin and beeswax. Next, he threads a long, flexible whip antenna under her skin, careful not to leave any bunched-up wire. Finally, he sutures her skin and scales: "This is the part where I sew my thumb to the incision so I can keep track of the snake easily," he says, smiling. The permanent sutures will come off when the snake sheds its skin, he explains. Moments later, he applies surgical glue to seal he wound. Zip zip zip. Finis. He measures and weighs Bel 130, counts rattle segments (eight, no button and no taper, indicating she is a mature snake) and ventral scales (167). Gianluca notes the numbers on a sheet in the snake book.
