Product Information

Rattlesnakes are the leading cause of snakebite injuries in North America and a significant cause in Central and South America. [43] [85] Avoiding bites [ edit ] Rattlesnakes are native to the Americas from southern Canada to central Argentina, with the majority of species inhabiting arid regions. [7] The large majority of species live in the American Southwest and Mexico. Four species may be found east of the Mississippi River, and two in South America. In the United States, the state with the most types of rattlesnakes is Arizona, with 13. [8] The skin of rattlesnakes is intricately patterned in a manner that camouflages them from their predators. [66] [67] Rattlesnakes do not generally have bright or showy colors (reds, yellows, blues, etc.), instead relying on subtle earth tones that resemble the surrounding environment. [68]

Rattlesnake venom is a mixture of five to fifteen enzymes, various metal ions, biogenic amines, lipids, free amino acids, proteins, and polypeptides. More specifically, there are three main families of toxins in rattlesnakes: phospholipases A2 (PLA2s), snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs), and snake venom serine proteinases (SVSPs). [47] It contains components evolved to immobilize and disable the prey, as well as digestive enzymes, which break down tissue to prepare for later ingestion. [36] [40] The venom is very stable, and retains its toxicity for many years in storage. [36] a b Luch, Andreas, ed. (2010). Molecular, Clinical and Environmental Toxicology. Vol.2. Springer. p.267.

Like most other snakes, rattlesnakes aestivate during very hot or dry periods, which is why they are rarely seen during the hottest and driest months of summer.

An important function of the skin is the sensation of changes in air temperature, which can guide the snakes towards warm basking/shelter locations. [66] All snakes are ectotherms. To maintain a stable body temperature, they exchange heat with their external environments. Snakes often move into open, sunny areas to absorb heat from the sun and warmed earth, a behavior known as basking. Nerves in the skin regulate the flow of blood into the veins near the surface.
