About Snakes
Snakes are reptiles. Reptiles are cold-blooded, have skin covered with scales, and lay eggs. (Some snakes don't actually lay their eggs, but hold them inside until they hatch.) Snakes have no legs and no ears. Skilled predators, snakes help maintain the balance of nature by eating prey that reproduces frequently, everything from earthworms to rabbits. Snakes are especially important in the control of rodents such as mice and rats.
Venomous Snakes in Texas
Texas is home to around 115 species and subspecies of snakes. The 15 venomous snakes in Texas make up less than 15 percent of the total number of snakes in the state. They are separated into four categories: coral snakes, copperheads, cottonmouths (water moccasins) and rattlesnakes.
Coral Snakes
Only one species of coral snake is native to Texas. Shy and rarely seen, it has, in order, brilliant red, yellow and black colors. (Other, harmless snakes have similar colors in a different order. The rhyme "red and yellow kill a fellow" has helped many remember that the coral snake's red and yellow colors touch, but the harmless milk snake's red and yellow don't touch.) The coral snake has a small mouth, and is usually non-aggressive. Its bites are dangerous, but extremely rare.

POISONOUS SNAKES
There are no infallible rules for expedient identification of poisonous snakes in the field, because the guidelines all require close observation or manipulation of the snake's body. The best strategy is to leave all snakes alone. Where snakes are plentiful and poisonous species are present, the risk of their bites negates their food value. Apply the following safety rules when traveling in areas where there are poisonous snakes:
  • Walk carefully and watch where you step. Step onto logs rather than over them before looking and moving on. Look closely when picking fruit or moving around water. Do not tease, molest, or harass snakes. Snakes cannot close their eyes. Therefore, you cannot tell if they are asleep. Some snakes, such as mambas, cobras, and bushmasters, will attack aggressively when cornered or guarding a nest. Use sticks to turn logs and rocks.

(Echis carinatus)
A small venomous desert snake with highly polished scales. Has a short snout and rounded cheeks. Often light brown in color with a lateral row of dark brown outlined mottles. It also has a dark brown dorsal stripe with light brown, fawn or buff colored spots. A ctive by day but in desert areas may remain hidden by day and go hunting by night. This species never hesitates to strike if aroused. Feeds mainly on mice, centipedes, lizards and scorpions. Due to its small size this snake may be preyed upon by larger snakes such as Kraits and Sand Boas. I ts venom is particularly venomous. A bite from this snake would inevitably prove fatal unless antivenin is administered. Its venom destroys red blood cells, the walls of arteries and reduces blood pressure. Death is either caused by internal bleeding or heart failure due to lack of blood and often occurs within 24 hours of being bitten. Rank Name Found Temperament Avg. Length

Order
Ophidian
Venomous snakes are found all over the world.
Viperidae thrive in Europe, South-East Asia and Africa.
Crotalidae
(rattlesnakes) live in North and South America and in Asia.
One encounters Elapidae in Africa (cobras, mambas), in Asia (Cobras, bungars), in Australia (cobras), and in America (coral snakes).
Finally, Hydophiidae (water snakes), of which most have adapted to aquatic life, live in tropical seas.
The most dangerous snake in the world is the Taipan, in Australia.
In Europe we are mostly concerned with the viper. Of an average size of 50 to 60 cm with a triangular head, the viper is stocky, brown or grey, with a zigzag black dorsal marking. Their life cycle is mainly from May to September, from feeding and molting to reproduction. They hibernate in winter by burying themselves to varying depths.
Vipers are not agressive but will attack if they feel threatened. Most bites happen in the summer during the warm hours between 11am and 3 pm. Their great jaw-opening ability allows them to bite any part of the body. In the middle of nowhere, the

Snakes Alive! How To Identify Snakes
Snakes are important members of the natural world and make a significant contribution to the control of pests such as rats, insects, and other snakes. Poisonous snakes, however, are not desirable members of the human habitat. The risk of a poisonous snakebite is lower than that of being struck by lightning and can be reduced further by:
  • Cleaning up refuse and other hiding spots around buildings and yards; Wearing heavy shoes and pants in wooded areas; and Looking first before stepping or touching hidden areas where snakes are likely to be resting or hiding.
Most poisonous snakes in the United States belong to the pit viper group. The pit viper has pits on its head, vertical pupils, a triangular head, slim neck, and a heavy body with a single row of scales on the underside of the tail. The pit viper group includes the major categories of copperhead and cottonmouth and two major categories of rattlesnake. All pit vipers may vibrate their tail sections rapidly to make noise when threatened. The cottonmouth and copperhead categories are often referred to as mocassins, but they are two distinct categories within the pit viper group.

VENOMOUS SNAKES OF IRAQ
TRUE VIPERS
  • Levantine or Blunt-Nosed Viper ( Vipera lebetina )- Range: along Tigris-Euphrates drainage in northern Iraq. Venom: hemorrhagic. Blunt-Nosed Viper ( Vipera lebetina obtusa. ) Range: Iraq. Venom: hemorrhagic. Kurdistan Viper ( Vipera raddei kurdistanica. ) Range: extreme northern Iraq. Desert Horned or Sand Viper ( Cerastes cerastes gasperetti ) Range: southwestern Iraq, widespread in Iraq east of the Euphrates. Venom: hemorrhagic. Saw-Scaled Viper ( Echis carinatus sochureki ) Range: southern Iraq and elsewhere on the Arabian peninusla. Lower Tigris-Euphrates drainage. Venom: markedly hemorrhagic. Persian Sand Viper ( Pseudocerastes persicus persicus ) Range: northern Iraq. Venom: hemrorhagic. Field's Sand Viper ( Pseudocerastes persicus fieldi. ) Range: southwestern Iraq. Venom: hemorrhagic.

  • Viperid antivenoms: Antivenoms for the Levantine and Desert Horned Vipers are available from foreign sources and should be secured and given whenever possible. Treatment of severe envenomations causing marked hemorrhagic problems is difficult. Blood clotting abnormalities should be managed by a hematologist as administration of whole blood products to such cases may exacerbate hemorrhagic symptoms and DIC. Specific or polyvalent viperid antivenoms are the best and only specific treatment for envenomation by these snakes. Since systemic as well as local hemorrhage may be present, bites by these snakes should be field managed by application of wide-area, low pressure bandaging of affected extremity in order to prevent systemic spread of the venom. Indubitably the worst of these snakes is the Saw Scaled Viper which carries an extremely nhigh mortality rate as a result of difficult to control systemic hemorrhage and/or DIC.

    The Deadliest Snakes in The World
    Return to Main Reptile Page
    Return to Reptile Gardens Home Page
    The following is a list of what are currently considered the most toxic snake venoms. It is important to keep in mind that regarding venoms, the most deadly snake, and the most dangerous snake are two entirely different concepts. Some of the snakes with the most toxic venom, i.e., the most deadly rarely bite people. In fact, the sea snakes are generally quite docile. The title of most dangerous snake, i.e., the one that kills the most people, would go to different animals than those listed below. In the United States the coral snake has a very toxic venom but has killed few people because it is small, secretive and gentle. The most dangerous are the rattlesnakes like the Eastern and Western Diamondbacks. These rattlesnakes are large, have large venom glands, are relatively common, and are more likely to hold their ground and bite. In Africa common Egyptian Cobras, Saw-scaled Vipers, and Puff Adders would be the most dangerous for the same reasons listed for the rattlesnakes above. In Asia the common Cobra and the Russell's Viper are the snakes that kill the most people.

    Western Hog-nosed Pit Viper
    Porthidium ophryomegas
    The Western Hog-nosed pit viper is generally gray, yellow or reddish-brown with numerous dark blotches on its back. This allows them to blend in with their surroundings and makes catching food easier. They are venomous snakes and their venom not only kills their food but aids in the digestion process by making their prey easier to digest. As juveniles, Western Hog-nosed pit vipers eat primarily frogs and lizards. As adults, they usually eat small mammals, frogs and lizards, and the occasional bird. Western Hog-nosed pit vipers are found in rocky semi-arid slopes and hillsides. They can be found in Western Guatemala and along the Southern Pacific coast down to Panama and Honduras. Western Hog-nosed pit vipers are nocturnal animals. Their infrared sensing pit helps them hunt without visual cues. They are not aggressive snakes (except to their

Oddly, this species can vary in appearance from one individual to the next, which may account for its other common names, which include; Pacific Ground Boa, Papuan Ground Viper, New Guinea Boa, and Pacific Boa. The Viper Boa is a member of the genus Candoia. This genus is comprised of at least three different species, and perhaps as many as eight. Most of the members of the genus Candoia are collectively referred to as Pacific Boas. The Viper Boa is unique because it is the smallest and the fattest member of this genus.
