Garman Rattlesnakes are a group of venomous snakes genera Crotalus and Sistrurus . They belong to the subfamily of venomous snakes known as Crotalinae (pit vipers). Contents Overview Range Prey Reproduction ... edit Overview There are approximately thirty species of rattlesnake , with numerous subspecies. They receive their name for the rattle located at the end of their tails. The rattle is used as a warning device when threatened. The scientific name Crotalus derives from the Greek , meaning " castanet ". The name Sistrurus is the Latinized form of the Greek word for "tail rattler" ( Σείστρουρος, Seistrouros ) and shares its root with the ancient Egyptian musical instrument, the sistrum , a type of rattle. Most rattlesnakes mate in the spring. All species give live birth , rather than laying eggs. The young are self-sufficient from birth. Since they do not need their mother after birth, the mother does not remain with her young. However, at least one captive study has demonstrated that females and their neonates show some level of affinity for each other's company and will cross barriers to reunite if separated.

4. Rattle Snakes Idaho Rattlesnakes According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, about 8,000 people a year receive venomous bites in the United States, and only 9 to 15 victims die. http://www.idahogeocachers.org/rattlesnakes.htm

Idaho Rattlesnakes According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, about 8,000 people a year receive venomous bites in the United States, and only 9 to 15 victims die. In fact more people die from wasp and bee stings than from snake bites. The only poisonous snake found in Idaho is the Rattlesnake. Rattlesnakes bite their victims with fangs that are hinged to swing downward from the snake's upper jaw. Venom is injected into the victim through grooves along the fangs. The amount and toxicity of venom determine the danger to the victim. A baby rattlesnake can be more lethal than a grown snake. While the adult may preserve its venom when it strikes, a baby rattlesnake tends to unleash all of its venom because it is inexperienced. The Western Rattlesnake ( Crotalus viridis ) Makes its home in Idaho at elevations up to 11,000 feet. It is dark, sometimes almost black in color, with dark oval patterns on its back and a lighter underside, and has a banded tail. It can reach lengths of 5 feet or more, and is most active during the day. Avoiding Snakes Know how to identify . All snakes with pointed tails in Idaho are non-venomous. Even newborn Rattlesnakes have a rattle segment called a "button" at the end of their tails, and adults may have several rattles. Rattlesnakes have flat, broad, triangular shaped heads. The pupils of a Rattlesnakes eyes are cat-like or elliptical, where non-venomous snakes have round pupils.

Snakes of North America CLASS REPTILA ORDER SQUAMATA SUBORDER SERPENTES FAMILY LEPTOTYPHLOPIDAE (slender blind snakes) This family of snakes is composed of 50 species in two families. They are generally regarded as the most primitive snakes, having a pelvic girdle and vestiglial hind limbs. They have a single lung and oviduct and are well adapted to their burrowing life style. They feed exclusively on small invertebrates such as ant and termite larvae. Leptotyphlopids are oviparous. There are two species of this family in North America. Leptotyphlops dulcis Texas Blind Snake Leptotyphlops humilis Western Blind Snake FAMILY BOIDAE (boas and pythons) Boidae is a large family of snakes that includes all five of the world's giant snakes. Boids are an ancient family that are characterized by a mixture of modern and primitive traits. They have flexible jaws found in more advanced families but also retain a pelvic girdle, vestigial hind limbs, and many use both lungs. While there are close to one hundred species of boids worldwide, there are only two species of boas found in North America, both in the sub-family Eryciniae.

VENOMOUS Timber Rattle Snake Crotalus horridus Family : Crotalidae - Pitviper Snakes (dangerously venomous) Typical Adult Size : 36 to 60 inches Reproduction : live bearing Eye Pupil : elliptical Dorsal Scales : keeled Anal Scale : single SC Range Map Additional Images The Timber Rattle Snake is the most common rattle snake in South Carolina. The Timber is also the most wide-ranged rattlesnake species in the eastern United States. Before the days of cotton agriculture, Timber Rattle Snakes probably were common throughout South Carolina. The over cultivation and severe erosion which occurred in the Piedmont region of SC during the 19 th and early 20 th Centuries, severely damaged the ecology and undoubtedly decimated many populations of herptiles. Today, Timber Rattle Snakes are nearly absent from most of the Piedmont. Timber populations now occur in the Mountains and immediately adjacent portions of the Piedmont. The major area of Timber Rattle Snake populations are the Sandhills and Coastal Plain. The Timber Rattle Snakes in the Mountains resemble their kind found from the mountains and northward through the eastern USA. These Timbers often have dark background colors and broad, darker cross bands. The Timbers found in the Sandhills and Coastal Plain of SC and the other southern coastal states tend to have a more lightly colored background (sometimes pinkish), narrow cross bands, and a very noticeable brown line down the spine. At one time the southern variation of the Timber was assigned subspecies status. Today, it is more accepted to consider the southern variation as just a color phase. Because the southern Timbers were often found around creeks which were usually bordered by stands of river cane (known as brakes), the southern Timber is often called the Canebrake Rattle Snake.

The record length is 74 ½ inches (189 cm). Timber rattlers impress one as being very stocky; they are large snakes. Despite their size, cryptic coloration allows them to be easily concealed. Two color patterns are commonly found: a yellow phase, which has black or dark brown crossbands on a lighter background color of yellow, brown or gray, and a black phase, which has dark crossbands on a dark background. Black or dark brown stippling also occurs to varying degrees, to the extent that some individuals appear all black. Scales are ridged, giving this rattlesnake a rough-skinned appearance. The timber rattler has a broadly triangular head with many small scales on the crown of the head bordered by a few large scales, unlike the massasauga rattlesnake which has nine large scales on the top of the head. 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.

Adult Timber Rattlesnake Closeup of head A robust, venomous snake, the timber rattler is equipped with a broad triangular head, vertical pupils and heat sensitive pits. The body color may be yellow, gray, dark brown or black, with dark, V-shaped crossbands across the back. The pattern may not be obvious if the body is very dark. The head is usually unpatterned and is covered with many small scales. A distinct rattle on the end of a darkly colored tail produces a buzzing sound when vibrated. When young, the rattlesnake has only a small button on the tail. Body scales are strongly keeled and the light colored belly is flecked with dark spots. Mating usually occurs in summer or fall. Females incubate eggs within their bodies by basking, and give birth the following year to 6-10 young from mid-August through September. Female rattlesnakes typically give birth every two or three years.

Western Pygmy Rattlesnake Sistrurus miliarius streckeri VENOMOUS The Western Pygmy Rattlesnake has never been common in this area, but that doesn't stop people from trying to 'identify' what is seen in their yard as one of them! This snake is what people often incorrectly try to refer to as a "ground rattler." Unfortunately, this incorrect name has been used for almost any medium sized snake with spots that is seen. As an example, I have personally performed scores of 'reptile rescue calls in this area over the past 15 years, and have had countless people tell me they have a 'ground rattler' in their yard. Ordinarily these turn out to be harmless Eastern Hognose Snakes (genus Heterodon ) or small Texas Rat Snakes (genus Elaphe ). I have NEVER documented a Western Pygmy Rattlesnake in Harris County during the same time frame! As with the incorrect "water moccasin" name, another important reason to call this snake a Western Pygmy Rattlesnake is that this is the name used by all factual current books on the subject. You will not find "ground rattlers" listed in the index of Alan Tennant's A Field Guide to Texas Snakes

They use the wetlands from fall through spring, and often move to drier habitats in summer. All other native Michigan snakes (17 species) are non-venomous, and basically harmless to humans if not handled or harmed.

If you are interested in all of our snakes, then you should visit our Online Guide to the Fla. Snakes A word of caution is warranted here. If you find a snake and you do not know whether or not it is venomous, the safest thing to do is leave it alone. Florida snakes are not aggressive and, unless they are cornered, most will flee when humans approach. Occasionally, you might encounter one that is reluctant to leave because it is basking in the sun to get warm. Among snakebite victims, an unacceptably high number are bitten on the hands and arms when they are handling the snake. Do not catch a snake and do not handle one unless you are sure it is not venomous.

Florida dusky pygmy rattlesnake or ground rattler Sistrurus miliarius barbouri Mardi Snipes Pygmy rattlesnakes are well named - babies can coil up comfortably on a quarter. Adults may measure up to 32", though most are less than 2'. Youngsters have bright yellow tails. Rattles are tiny and almost invisible even on the adults, and very difficult to hear even if you are standing close by. A pygmy rattlesnake's rattle sounds a lot like a small buzzing bee. The body color of a pygmy rattlesnake ranges from pale grey-white to dark grey-black, with black saddles or blotches and sometimes a faint and uneven reddish stripe down their backs. They are the only North American venomous snake that is even partially striped, and their "stripe" is broken by distinct black saddles so that it looks more like a series of spots. Their scales are very rough and appear almost velvety - but don't pet them! Pygmy rattlers can be moved using a snake scoop made of a plastic jug with the handle cut off, or a small hook. A coathanger makes a good small hook if you pull it out to full extension. You can also sweep these small snakes into a garbage can as
