A Word With Bob Myers, Snake Man Albuquerque Monthly Magazine November 1995 Photo: Chris Grinnell Bob Myers is an extremely normal, extremely polite man who just happens to have an odd profession. He collects snakes. Many kinds, mostly rattlesnakes. Myers’ American International Rattlesnake Museum, tucked away into a corner shop in Old Town, is the kind of place where people who are afraid of snakes should not enter. Myers owns dozens of rattlers, all alive (except for one rare rattler lovingly preserved in a jar), all expertly displayed. This is a serious museum, with the snakes’ genus, species, origins and histories carefully labeled on each tank. There are some odd snakes, including a big albino rattler, and some with striped markings when they should have diamond markings. By the way, Myers wants to dispel a few rattlesnake myths: Their bites hurt like crazy, and require anti-venom treatment to kill the symptoms, but rarely kill. If a dog is bitten on the snout by a rattler, the dog is likely to live, although its nose will swell up like a watermelon. Someday, Myers hopes to construct a bigger rattlesnake museum. "There are plans in the works," he says. "That’s all I can say right now."

How can I tell the difference between harmless and dangerous snakes? Most snakes are harmless and beneficial. Michigan's only venomous snake has rattles and eliptical pupils in its eyes. Native snakes with pointed tails and round pupils are non-venomous. Some people have snake-phobia. eastern Massasuga rattlesnake Remedies include: unless it is attacked More Detailed Information eastern Massasuga rattlesnake They are found throughout the Lower Peninsula and on Bois Blanc Island. There are no venomous snakes native to the Upper Peninsula. Massasaugas are rare, but might occur anywhere there are marshy or swamp wetlands bordered by undeveloped upland habitats (meadows, old fields, open woodland). 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. (Almost any animal, from chipmunks to chickadees, can bite in self-defense!)

Snakes Alive! by Mark Goodwin photos by Jim Rathert The best response to venomous snakes is to respect their wildness. An August day at my parents' cabin along Big Creek in Wayne County offered summer fun at its best. Mom and Dad had invited my family and my two sisters' families out for the weekend. I rose early and hunted squirrels in the cool of the morning. At midday, we all played in Big Creek and tried our luck at fishing. I helped my older sister's step-grandson catch his first smallmouth bass. I even found time for an afternoon nap. After supper,my wife, Lisa, and I took a short walk down the county road that leads from the cabin. The clay and gravel road winds through a sizable expanse of hilly hardwood timber. As we chatted and walked, I stopped periodically to listen for the sound of squirrels cutting hickory nuts. The sound, a sign of coming fall, was one I had not yet heard this season. I was eager to hear it. My wife is patient, but the fourth time I motioned for silence, she gave me a look that said,"Mark,that's enough."

San Francisco State University Department of Geography Geography 316: Biogeography The Biogeography of the Mojave Rattlesnake Crotalus scutulatus by Charles Brigham, student in Geography 316, 2000 MOJAVE RATTLESNAKE COMPLETE TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION CROTALUS SCUTULATUS Description of Species: Rattlesnakes have been portrayed throughout history as a sign of fear, pain, and death. They have been symbols of power and authority for kings and rulers. These creatures have become mysterious because of their cunning ability to stun and immobilize their prey. This is a typical strategy for war. (Shaw 1974) The Mojave rattlesnake ( Crotalus scutulatus ) is one of the most lethal rattlers of North America. Adults average 2-4 feet in length from head to tail (Shaw-Cambell 1974). It has a diamond shaped pattern that dissolves into an offset striped pattern towards the tail. The offset stripe pattern helps set it apart from the very similar diamond back. The color of the Mojave rattlesnake varies from a greenish gray to a yellowish brown. These color variations provide camouflage in certain terrain. Habitat: Herpetologists have studied the natural history of snakes for centuries and despite current research they continue to pose new questions. Approximately 2700 known snakes form the suborder Serpentes of the order Squamata (Goin 1978). The Mojave rattler shares its home range closely with two other rattlesnake species, the Southwestern speckled rattlesnake and the sidewinder (Stebbins, 1954). All three are native to the Mojave Desert region. The Mojave rattler and the sidewinder share the region more closely. Both snakes prefer the flat desert scrubland.

The Yosemite region contains twenty-one species in the first named group and eleven in the second.

As normal parts of the protected animal life in Yosemite National Park no person should kill any of these reptiles or amphibians, save the Rattlesnake.

Its highly neurotoxic bite is 10 times more potent than most other rattlesnakes and packs enough venom to kill 10 adult humans. Symptoms from a bite can include shortness of breath, facial twitching, paralysis of the lower limbs and inability to speak or swallow. Untreated bites are typically fatal, and death can occur in as little as 10 minutes, usually due to abrupt respiratory cessation. As a common inhabitant of semiarid grasslands, the Mojave rattlesnake is increasingly encountered as ever-expanding suburbs push into its habitat, and people venture out to view desert wildflowers. Individual snakes range from calm to extremely excitable, with some lashing out so violently that their entire body jumps off the ground.

It was ironic, then, that I should hear my birthday "gift" before I saw him. The sharp and loud percussion came from my right as I rounded a curve in the trail. I skipped quickly to my left, darted forward, and spun to face the menace. I looked at him closely for a second: His fork-shaped bubblegum-pink tongue was flicking rapidly and contrasted severely with the tire-tread darkness of his coiled body. He was a Pacific rattlesnake and sat tucked back against a collection of boulders, hidden from view to those coming down the trail. Fortunately, his position was slightly off-trail, and I'd been able to move safely outside of his six-foot striking range. Angela, however, was rapidly approaching.

Snake Info: Florida is a home to 45 species of snakes. 6 of them are poisonous and a danger to humans. All snakes are carnivorous predators that feed on a variety of small prey. Like many predators, they can be beneficial in the elimination of unwanted vermin. However, many people are not comfortable having snakes around, particularly venomous snakes. NOTE: If you find a snake and you do not know whether or not it is venomous, the safest thing to do is to leave it alone and call AAAnimal Control or another trapping professional. If you or someone else is bitten by a poisonous snake, you should immediately seek medical attention at the nearest hospital or medical facility. People are most likely to encounter snakes if their property provides good snake habitat. Like all animals, snakes are looking for a good place to hunt and live. Sometimes people just happen to come across transient snakes, although I often catch snakes in homes, even snakes in attics . A venomous snake is most dangerous if surprised or provoked. Many venomous snakes give a warning (such as the rattle of a rattlesnake) or other signs before striking, though this is not always the case. Snakes must be within striking range in order to inflict a bite. This varies by snake, but can be up to half the snake's body length. Most venomous bites fall under accident categories, and (as evidenced by the high number of hand and arm bites) careless handling or provoking.

Most of our buddies stayed in town looking for girls. Our mothers thought we were safer on the stream until the day Bobby thought he heard the rattle of a snake. Bobby looked down. The sound was rattlin' mere inches from his trembling feet. Until Bobby, I'd never seen a human being turn white.
