About this deal

Benjamin Franklin thought that rattlesnakes embodied uniquely American diplomacy and toughness. “She never wounds till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of stepping on her,” he wrote in a Pennsylvania newspaper in 1775. “Was I wrong, Sir, in thinking this a strong picture of the temper and conduct of America?” Rattlesnakes receive their name from the rattle located at the end of their tails, which makes a loud rattling noise when vibrated that deters predators. [2] Rattlesnakes are the leading contributor to snakebite injuries in North America, but rarely bite unless provoked or threatened; if treated promptly, the bites are seldom fatal.

While not as venomous as Inland Taipans, Saw-scaled Vipers (Echis carinatus) are the most deadly snakes in the world. a b Gupta, Ramesh Chandra, ed. (2007).

The most probable ancestral area of rattlesnakes is the Sierra Madre Occidental region in Mexico. The most probable vegetation or habitat of the ancestral area appears to be pine-oak forests. [11] Prey [ edit ] So imagine if I used my experience driving a car to inform others about how to solve car troubles. It might look something like “just hit it with a hammer”, which is the equivalent to the inevitable “shotgun” comments that show up on any image of a rattlesnake. I have decades of experience spending a lot of time in cars, but I’m still oblivious to much of the interior.It must be noted that Australia reports on average well under 10 snake bite deaths per year due to high levels of snake awareness and education, quality medical facilities and personnel and the availability of anti venom.

Archived from the original (PDF) on 2009-01-10 . Retrieved 2009-06-15. The King cobra ( Ophiophagus hannah) is the longest venomous snake in the world, and it can inject very high volumes of venom in a single bite. The venom LD 50 is 1.80mg/kg SC according to Broad et al. (1979). [72] The mean value of subcutaneous LD 50 of five wild-caught king cobras in Southeast Asia was determined as 1.93mg/kg. [73] Between 350 and 500mg (dry weight) of venom can be injected at once (Minton, 1974). In another study by (Broad et al., 1979), the average venom quantity was 421mg (dry weight of milked venom). [72] The maximum venom yield is approximately 1000mg (dry weight).

A very rare sight, this does happen. When it happens, it also triggers various myths and prejudices among humans. Rattlesnakes do not like snake repellent, and spraying one nearby to one will likely cause it to slither away. This is a great way to scare away rattlesnakes without harming them. You can buy snake repellent at most hardware stores.

The bite of this species may cause severe pain and swelling, along with severe neurotoxicity. Weakness, drowsiness, ataxia, hypotension, and paralysis of throat and limbs may appear in less than one hour after the bite. Without medical treatment, symptoms rapidly worsen and death can occur rapidly after a bite due to respiratory failure. An adult woman bitten by this species in northwestern Pakistan suffered severe neurotoxicity and died while en route to the closest hospital nearly 50 minutes after envenomation. Between 1979 and 1987, 136 confirmed bites were attributed to this species in the former Soviet Union. Of the 136, 121 received antivenom, and only four died. Of the 15 who did not receive antivenom, 11 died. This species is an abundant snake in northeastern Iran and is responsible for a very large number of snakebite mortalities. [107] Antivenom is not as effective for envenomation by this species as it is for other Asiatic cobras within the same region, like the Indian cobra ( Naja naja) and due to the dangerous toxicity of this species' venom, massive amounts of antivenom are often required for patients. As a result, a monovalent antivenom serum is being developed by the Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute in Iran. [105] The untreated mortality rate for this species is 70–75%, which is the highest among all cobra species of the genus Naja. [108] Forest cobra [ edit ] Forest cobra ( Naja melanoleuca), Kakamega Forest, Kenya Creases in the epidermal tissue connect the scales of rattlesnakes. When ingesting large prey, these creases can unfold, allowing the skin to expand to envelop a much greater volume. The skin appears to tightly stretch to accommodate the meal, but in reality, the skin is simply smoothing out from its creased state and is not under very high tension. [69] Reproduction [ edit ] Two male northern Pacific rattlesnakes ( C. oreganus oreganus) engage in a "combat dance" Everted hemipenis of a male C. adamanteus Coiled defensively, its head reared and tail vibrating, a threatened rattlesnake commands respect. These venomous serpents have evolved one of nature’s most dramatic warning systems in their signature segmented rattles. But as we’ll see, their powerful bites are not the only thing rattlesnakes have going for them. 1. Rattlesnake scientific names refer to musical instruments.
