   Extractions: Snakes are legless reptiles, some of which have a venomous bite which they use to kill their prey before eating it. Other snakes kill their prey by constriction, for example strangulation. An old synonym for snake is serpent; in modern usage this usually refers to a mythic or symbolic snake, and in Wikipedia information about such creatures will be found under serpent. The present article deals with the biology of snakes. Snakes are closely related to lizards, which share the order Squamata. There are also several species of legless lizard which superficially resemble snakes, but are not otherwise related to them. Although they may be venomous and have a bad reputation, snakes do not prey on humans. Most snakes will attack a human being only if startled or injured. If you look where you are walking and make plenty of noise, a snake will get out of your way rather than waiting for you to step on it. In many areas, most snakes are non-venomous or have venom that is not harmful to humans, and are Colubrid. Australia is an exception - most snakes in Australia are extremely venomous and should be given a very wide berth. All snakes are carnivorous, eating small animals, birds or insects. Snakes do not chew their food. Snakes have very flexible lower jaws, the two halves of which are not rigidly attached, allowing them to open their mouths wide enough to swallow their prey whole, even if it is larger in diameter than the snake itself. Contrary to the popular myth, at no point do they "unhinge" their jaws (disarticulate their mandibular joints). After eating, snakes become torpid while the process of digestion takes place.

   Extractions: 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 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.

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.

   Extractions: 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. 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. 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.

    Extractions: Spring Rattles In Spring is one of the most beautiful times of the year in the desert, but it can also be a time for caution. Rattlesnakes lie dormant during the cold fall and winter months and awaken from hibernation in the warm months of March and April. Approximately 8,000 people a year receive venomous snakebites in the U.S., 9 -15 victims die. (FDA) Rattlesnakes can only strike a distance equal to 1/2 their own length Last March, over one weekend, I saw three Rattlesnakes while working outdoors in a semiarid region of Southern California. That same spring I saw a few more baby Rattlers in various areas of the 20-acre property where I live. Many of my friends have never encountered a Rattlesnake and seem quite nervous when they visit my home. They cautiously stay on the main roads or trails and frequently look about them as if waiting for a 6-foot-long predator to jump out of the shrubs and attack them. After hearing my tale of the three Rattlers, my Uncle, who was visiting from the Midwest, insisted on wearing Cowboy boots whenever he walked about the property. The funniest part was how he stylishly tucked his pants inside the boots and confidently strolled through the shrubs looking for trouble.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: Federal Status: Not Listed Like other members of the pit-viper family, the timber rattlesnake has a temperature- sensitive opening, or pit, on either side of the face between and a little below the eye and nostril. This sensory organ is used to detect prey and potential predators. Another feature distinctive of rattlesnakes is the rattle itself. This structure is made of loosely attached horny segments. A new segment is added each time the snake sheds. When vibrated, the rattle makes a buzzing sound characteristic of a disturbed rattlesnake. Akgistrodon contortrix ), other snakes, and skinks ( Eumeces spp. ). Dens are generally on open, steep, south facing slopes with rock fissures or talus surrounded by hardwood forests. Adults shed their skin every one or two years, with the average being every 1.4 years. A new rattle segment is added each time shedding occurs. Snakes with a complete set of rattles are rarely seen, however, since the rattles regularly break off. This rattler feeds primarily on small mammals, but occasionally takes small birds, amphibians and other snakes. The venom, which is used primarily to immobilize prey, can be fatal to humans if the bite is untreated. However, in New York there have been no records of human deaths attributable to rattlesnakes in the wild during the last several decades. Contrary to popular opinion, a rattlesnake will not pursue or attack a person unless threatened or provoked.

    Extractions: June 11, 2004 EDT 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.
