Identification This is a large, stout-bodied snake that can obtain lengths of five feet or more. Along with its sheer size and characteristic rattle , this snake can be readily identified by the presence of dark bands, or chevrons, running across its back. Its relatively large, angular head possesses deep, heat-sensing " pits " near the eyes and nostrils. Coloration of the Timber Rattlesnake is highly variable and ranges from sulfur yellow to brown, gray or black. Range alone is often adequate to identify this snake as it is frequently the only rattlesnake in much of the central and eastern portions of the United States. Distribution and Status Timber Rattlesnakes have a wide distribution ranging from New Hampshire south to Texas, encompassing a total of 30 states ( US distribution map Midwest distribution map ).

State Checklist Herping in LA Links Authors ... State Maps Bienville Parish Photo: Mike Monlezun The pygmy rattlesnake is an interesting "small" rattlesnake. It is seldom seen, but by no means rare. Their small size, almost always less than 2 feet but occasionally a few inches longer, renders them inconspicuous to the unobservant individual. This photo is of a rather typical specimen. The bluish color that may show up on your screen, though, is not the natural color, but rather the result of less than optimum scanning! This individual is barely 15 inches long and is doing great on a diet of fuzzy mice. This IS the "ground rattler.!" Brown snakes ( Storeria , Hognose snakes ( Heterodon ), and hatchling rat snakes ( Elaphe ) are among the snakes that are erroneously called ground rattlers. I guess it is natural to want to sensationalize the stories that are told. Some people think that it makes for a better story to say that the little snake crawling through their backyard was a "dangerous ground rattler." They can justify their fear of snakes by claiming it to be dangerous, which could lead to a sympathetic response from others. Being deathly afraid of a harmless brown snake that I would trust with a 2 year old just doesn't have the same effect. So few people actually see these snakes that the term "ground rattler" probably shouldn't even be in their vocabulary. The western pygmy rattlesnake occurs throughout the state for the most part. Although specimens can be found in swampy areas in the southeastern part of the state, they are generally absent from the same habitat in the southwestern part of the state. This individual came from near the town of Kisatchie in west central Louisiana. They are found most often in central and southeastern Louisiana.

33. Snake Facts - Rattlesnakes Fun facts for kids, photos and printable activity worksheets. Suitable for Kindergarten through Grade 6. http://www.kidzone.ws/lw/snakes/facts-rattlesnake.htm

HOME Search Coloring Pages Crafts for Kids ... Photos RATTLESNAKES Rattlesnakes are best known for, and most easily recognized by, their rattle. The rattlesnake babies are born with what is called a pre-button. The baby snake loses this piece when it sheds its skin for the first time. With the shedding a new button appears. With every shedding after that another button, or rattle, will be added. These buttons are made up of a material called Keratin, which is what the scales and your fingernails are made of! The rattles are empty, so what makes the noise? The noise comes from each segment knocking together, so until a rattlesnake has two or more pieces it isn’t going to make a sound! But when it does…you WILL hear it…and you WILL RUN! Rattlesnakes are found in the southern parts of the United States, from the deserts to the mountains and grow between 3 and 4 feet (.9 to 1.2 m) long. There are 16 different types of Rattlers such as the Eastern Diamondback, Western Diamondback, Sidewinder and the Speckled, just to name a few. All of them have rattles, are venomous and are pit vipers. Rattlesnakes feed on rodents, squirrels, rabbits and other small critters. They hibernate through the winter and come out in the spring to eat and then mate. Rattlesnake eggs will stay inside their mother until they hatch. Most of the time there are 8-10 babies born at once and are about 10 inches long. Babies are born venomous but cannot rattle and are often more aggressive than the adults.

This behaviour is commonly seen after a snake has a meal. Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake ONTARIO DISTRBUTION The Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake, Sistrurus catenatus , is the only venomous snake still found in Ontario. Although the venom is potent, this snake's small size and retiring habits make it a minor risk to humans. Massasaugas once had a wider range and were far more common in southern Ontario near the shores of Lake Erie and Lake Huron. Rattlesnakes were common in the Windsor area fifty years ago but their population has seriously declined with development and urbanization of the area. They are still relatively common on the Bruce Peninsula and the eastern shoreline of Georgian Bay. Ojibway and the Wainfleet Bog near Port Colburne support small populations. The range of the Eastern Massasauga closely coincides with the range of tallgrass prairie in the United States. Less than one percent of the original prairie remains in North America and the Massasauga has declined over much of its range. These attractive grey and black reptiles were once killed indiscriminately because of a perceived danger of being bitten. In Wisconsin this rattlesnake was considered a nuisance up to 1975 and bounties were paid for dead snakes. It is now considered endangered in Wisconsin and Massasaugas are protected in eight of the ten states where it is found.

SSSSSSSSnakes Did you know that there are as many as 21 kinds of snakes in Wisconsin? Wow, that's a lot! Only two of these snakes are venomous, the timber rattlesnake and the eastern massasauga (mas-a-sa-gwa) rattlesnake. They are found only in specific habitats in the the southwestern part of the state. A few of Wisconsin's snakes are endangered including: the massasauga rattlesnake, queen snake, western ribbon snake and the northern ribbon snake. Some snakes are the "protected wild animal" category which means that it is illegal to hunt or possess them. Wisconsin Snake Check List: (Check the ones you've seen) Black rat snake or pilot snake (Protected Wild Animal) Blue racer or yellow-bellied racer (Protected Wild Animal) Brown snake or DeKay's snake Bullsnake (Protected Wild Animal) Butler's garter snake (Threatened) Common garter snake Eastern plains garter snake Eastern hognose snake Eastern milk snake ...

Timber rattler snake (Protected Wild Animal) Western fox snake (sometimes called "pine" snake) Western ribbon snake Fun Facts About Snakes Snakes are ectothermic. Can you guess what that means? It means that they must rely on their surroundings to control their body temperature. So, in the heat of the summer, where do you suppose they go? They head underground or crawl into cool spaces or into areas with lots of vegetation. This keeps them cool in the heat of they day. On a cool day in the spring or fall, you might see a snake "sunning" itself out in the open where the sun can warm it up.

Rattlesnakes lie dormant during the cold fall and winter months and awaken from hibernation in the warm months of March and April. Rattlesnake Statistics Approximately 8,000 people a year receive venomous snakebites in the U.S., 9-15 victims die. (FDA) 25% of adult rattlesnake bites are dry, with no venom injected. (Brown, 1997) Rattlesnakes can only strike a distance equal to 1/2 their own length Last year in 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.
