Snake Traps Recognizing a Venomous Bite All poisonous snakes have 2 large fangs which are located in the upper front portion of the mouth. If the victim is bitten and the snake escapes before the identification can be made, the following signs should be noted: One to two punctures made by the hollow fangs. Pain following within 5 to 10 minutes accompanied by swelling and discoloration around the bite area. These symptoms will progress up the victim's extremity. If the fang enters a vein or artery, these symptoms may not be present. Coral Snake bites differ from Pit Viper bites. Their venom is neurotoxic in nature. The bite is usually not painful, little or no swelling or discoloration is present. Symptoms may be delayed for several hours but when they do occur, they progress rapidly. Symptoms include nausea, drowsiness, vomiting, marked salivation and difficulty in breathing. Paralysis is also noted in Coral Snake invenomation.

SNAKES SNAKES About 45,000 people are bitten by snakes every year in the United States. Of those, 7,000 involve poisonous snakes, and of those treated, only about 15 die. More than half of the poisonous snakebites involve children, and most occur between April and October. Of the poisonous bites in the United States, 55 percent are from rattlesnakes, 34 percent from copperheads, 10 percent from water moccasins, and one percent from coral snakes. Rattlesnake bites account for 70 percent of the fatalities and between 95 and 98 percent of the bites occur on extremities. Each year the Samaritan Regional Poison Center has more than 65 calls about rattlesnake bites. There are 11 species of rattlesnakes identified in Arizona. A pit viper snake has a heat sensing "pit" located between the nostril and eye on each side that is used to locate and trail prey. Rattlesnakes can grow up to six feet in length. Baby rattlesnakes are capable of a venomous bite from birth. Nonpoisonous snakebites are not considered serious and are generally treated as minor wounds; only poisonous snakebites are considered medical emergencies. Symptoms generally occur immediately, but only about one third of all bites manifest symptoms. When no symptoms occur, probably no venom was injected into the victim. In 50 percent of coral snake bites, no venom is injected because the coral snake has to chew the skin for envenomation to occur. In as many as 25 percent of all venomous pit viper bites, no venom is injected, possibly because the fangs may be injured, the venom sacs may be empty at the time of the bite, or the snake may not use the fangs when it strikes. Poisonous snakebite venom contains some of the most complex toxins known; venoms can affect the central nervous system, brain, heart, kidneys, and blood.

Pit Viper is basically a manipulator arm that is attached to the end of a back hoe and can be remotely operated from up to 200 feet away. The pit viper can also detect and map radiation levels. Pit Viper was developed by engineers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory or PNNL in Richland, Washington. You can see pictures here .

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.

The Pit Viper This striking pose of a pit viper was found on a pad surrounding the Viper logo mixed within the integrated circuitry of an early 1990s vintage Hewlett-Packard memory controller chip. The designers' initials (all 20 of them) were discovered stacked together on a pad not far from the snake. This chip was introduced in the first of a line of HP workstations termed "Snakes" that were popular in 1991-1992. The microprocessor was code named the "Mustang" before the Snake name was adopted for this series of computers. This chip is also the one with the warning: You are too Close View this silicon artwork under brightfield and darkfield illumination by Michael W.

18. Rhinoceros Viper: WhoZoo Their striking range is surprisingly long, sometimes as long as half the snake'slength. As with other snakes, the rhino viper uses its scales for movement. http://www.whozoo.org/Anlife99/jasonlip/rhinoviperindex.htm

The Rhinoceros Viper Name: Rhinoceros viper Scientific name Bitis nasicornis Range: Central and western Africa Habitat : Wetlands and tropical forest Status : Not threatened Size : 2 to 4 feet in length Location in the zoo Herpetarium Physical Description: The rhinoceros viper, also called the river jack, can grow to be somewhat large in size. Adults normally grow to be 2 to 4 feet in length. One source even cites them as being able to reach up to 7 feet in length! The head of this animal is considerably smaller in size than its body. The rhinoceros viper's head is one of its most distinguishing characteristics. The rhino viper's head is in a triangular shape. There are 2 or 3 "horns" above each nostril. The coloration of the rhinoceros viper is incredible. Because of the various patterns and colors, the rhino viper has often been regarded as one of the most beautiful snakes in the world (see the above picture). Coloration in the rhinoceros viper is an adaptive feature. The degree of light and dark colors of this snake depends on its habitat. This wetland species of adders has darker colors which allow it to blend well with the jungle floor where it would most likely be found. General Information The rhinoceros viper is one of three species of puff adders. Some reasons these venomous snakes are called puff adders are that, when excited, they have the ability to enlarge their size considerably by inflating their bodies. This creates the "puffed" look that is approximately twice the normal size of the snake's body. These adders also make a sort of hissing noise through their nose as part of their respiratory function.

APPENDIX E POISONOUS SNAKES OF AFRICA AND ASIA Mole viper or burrowing viper Atracaspis microlepidota Description: Uniformly black or dark brown with a small, narrow head. Characteristics: A viper that does not look like one. It is small in size, and its small head does not indicate the presence of venom glands. It has a rather inoffensive disposition; however, it will quickly turn and bite if restrained or touched. Its venom is a potent hemotoxin for such a small snake. Its fangs are exceptionally long. A bite can result even when picking it up behind the head. It is best to leave this snake alone. Habitat: Agricultural areas and arid localities Length: Average 55 centimeters, maximum 75 centimeters Distribution: Sudan, Ethiopia, Somaliland, Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda, Cameroon, Niger, Congo, and Urundi. Palestinian viper Vipera palaestinae Description: Olive to rusty brown with a dark V-shaped mark on the head and a brown, zigzag band along the back. Characteristics: The Palestinian viper is closely related to the Russell's viper of Asia. Like its cousin, it is extremely dangerous. It is active and aggressive at night but fairly placid during the day. When threatened or molested, it will tighten its coils, hiss loudly, and strike quickly. Habitat: Arid regions, but may be found around barns and stables. It has been seen entering houses in search of rodents.
