Snake Pits: Viper heat sensors locate cool spots
Susan Milius Researchers who glued minuscule plastic balls onto the faces of live rattlesnakes say the project has revealed the first experimental evidence of an overlooked role for the viper's heat-sensing organs. The newly tested function: finding places for the desert snake to hide from the scorching sun. HEAT SENSOR. A western diamondback rattlesnake lost its skill at spotting cool refuges when researchers blocked its heat-sensing pits with tiny balls and aluminum foil (below).
Krochmal and Bakken Rattlesnakes can sense heat via special receptors sunk in two tiny pits on their faces, explains Aaron Krochmal of Indiana State University in Terre Haute. Decades of experiments have focused on how the pits enable the animal to turn into a heat-seeking missile for warm-blooded prey. Now, Krochmal and George Bakken, also of Indiana State, report on the first tests of whether the facial pits also help western diamondback rattlesnakes protect themselves from overheating. After researchers blocked rattlesnakes' facial pits, the animals had trouble finding cool refuges, Krochmal and Bakken report in the Aug. 1

Most snakes live on the ground, but some are burrowers, arboreal, or aquatic; one group is exclusively marine. In temperate climates they hibernate. They are generally solitary in their habits, although they may congregate in places offering food or shelter, and large numbers may hibernate together. Snakes range in length from about 4 in. (10 cm) to over 30 ft (9 m). Most are protectively colored.

Sometimes the identity of the biting snake can be confirmed by examining the dead snake; it may be strongly suspected from the patient’s description or the circumstances of the bite or from knowledge of the clinical effects of the venom of that species. This information will enable the doctor to choose an appropriate antivenom, anticipate the likely complications and therefore take appropriate action. If the biting species is unknown, recognition of the emerging pattern of symptoms, signs and results of laboratory tests ("the clinical syndrome"), may suggest which species was responsible. 3.3.1 Local symptoms and signs in the bitten part

Deccan Herald Spectrum The snake charmers! ARUNA CHANDARAJU talks to some of the modern day snake charmers who either help the snakes live free or make a living out of them.
Snake! It is one word that evokes terror in most people, second only to the cockroach. Not everyone might share the second fear but, I know, most dread the first. Especially when it is found at home. And then they call in the snake-charmer, correction, snake-catcher.

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 onepercent 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.

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. Venomous snakebite venom contains some of the most complex toxins known; venoms can affect the central nervous system, brain, heart, kidneys, and blood.

http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/gaston/Pests/reptiles/venomousnake.htm
NORTH CAROLINA VENOMOUS SNAKES
Of the 37 species of snakes throughout North Carolina, only six are venomous:
  • Copperhead (found throughout NC) Canebrake Rattlesnake (found throughout NC) Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake (found in southeastern NC) Pigmy Rattlesnake (found in southeastern NC) Cottonmouth or Water Moccasin (found in wetland areas in the eastern half of NC) Coral Snake (the rarest, found in the south and southeastern areas of NC)
  • According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, about 8,000 people a year receive venomous snake bites in the United States, and only 9 to 15 victims die. In fact more people die from wasp and bee stings than from snake bites. The Eastern Coral Snake is a member of the Elapidae family, which includes the deadly cobras of India. It lives in the sand hills of southeastern North Carolina. This rare black, red, and yellow banded snake is shy and seldom seen. It hunts at night and kills its prey with a potent neurotoxin venom. This venom is the most toxic venom produced by any of North Carolina's venomous snakes, but since Coral snakes are secretive, people seldom encounter one. The other species of venomous snakes are known as pit vipers. The five North Carolina pit vipers include two moccasins (the copperhead and cottonmouth) and three rattlesnakes. Pit vipers are recognizable by their large, triangular or diamond shaped head, a pit between the nostril and the eye, and vertically elliptical "cat's eye" pupils. The

    http://www.habu2.net/habu.html
    I am often asked about this word "Habu" - what it is and why I've chosen it as my e-mail address (among other things...). Well, it has to do with my interest in aviation and automobiles. It's a story that began halfway around the world, almost forty years ago... Okinawa is in the Ryuku Island chain in Japan. A small, dark, poisonous pit viper snake, indigenous to the Ryuku islands, is called the "Habu" by the native islanders. Though non-aggressive, the Habu snake can inflict a painful and sometimes deadly bite. (photo by Online Encyclopedia of Japanese Reptiles) In the late 1950s, an aeronautical engineer named Clarence "Kelly" Johnson began working on an aircraft designed to fly higher and faster than any manned aircraft had ever flown. The top-secret program was given the code-name "Oxcart", and would eventually become the Lockheed A-12. The A-12 was not intended to become part of the U.S. Air Force inventory, but was instead operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The Air Force subsequently developed a larger and heavier version of the A-12 under their own top-secret program code-named "Senior Crown". This aircraft would become the Lockheed SR-71. Although never officially given a name, the plane was often called the "Blackbird" because of it's rather sinister looking overall black paint scheme. (photo by NASA) In 1968, four SR-71s began basing their operations out of Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan. There, the native Okinawans began calling the SR-71 "Habu" because it's shape and color reminded them of the dark pit viper snake. The name stuck, and operational SR-71 crew members began wearing "Habu" patches on their flight suits. Some SR-71s carried a picture of Habu snakes on their vertical tail fins.

    By Alvin Braswell , curator of reptiles and amphibians How many species of venomous snakes live in North Carolina?
    Which is the
    most dangerous ...
    Are snakes protected by law?

    How many species of venomous snakes live in North Carolina?
    Six: copperhead, cottonmouth, timber rattlesnake, pigmy rattlesnake, eastern diamondback rattlesnake and eastern coral snake. There are also 31 nonvenomous species in North Carolina, for a total of 37 species. Top Which is the most dangerous?
    Although the eastern coral snake possesses very powerful venom, it is rare in the state and no bites have been recorded. The eastern diamondback rattlesnake has a large quantity of venom that is more toxic than that of the timber rattlesnake, pigmy rattlesnake, cottonmouth or copperhead. However, it, too, is quite rare. The copperhead (pictured above right) can be considered the most dangerous in North Carolina simply because in many areas of the state, it is the only venomous snake you are likely to encounter. The copperhead is more likely to occur near human dwellings than other venomous species, and it is responsible for the vast majority of venomous snakebites. Top Can a copperhead bite be fatal?

    Are venomous snakes lurking in the ball pits at fast food restaurants? storage and badtempered venomous vipers fanging any hand carelessly trailed in
    http://www.snopes.com/critters/snakes/ballpit.htm
    Culprit in the Ball Pit Claim: Venomous snakes lurk in the ball pits of fast food restaurants. Status: False. Example: [Collected on the Internet, 1998]
    About a week or so ago, a mother took her eager 3 year old son to Burger King for lunch. After they ate their lunch the mother said that the son could go and play on the playground for awhile since he ate all his lunch. She watched as the boy played in the tunnels, slide and in the ball-pit. The boy played for about 10 minutes when he started to whimper slightly. The mother asked the boy what had happened and he mearly replied, "Hurt mommy." The mother assumed that the little boy had banged his elbow or something while playing. They left to return home. A half and hour after they were home, the mother noticed some big red welts on the little boys arms and legs. Not being able to figure out what they were, the mother started to look at them closer. Could be red ant bites . . . she did not know. An hour later, the little boy died. Come to find out, when returning to Burger King to see if there were red ants in the play area, in case the little boy had an allergic reaction. Burger King employees and herself discovered that there was a family of baby rattlesnakes living underneath the balls in the ball-pit area. She has since found out that this happens more frequently than not. The snakes will crawl into the ball pit because it is dark and warm in there. She knows for a fact that another death has occurred because of this in South Carolina. Please use caution when letting any children play in an outside play area of a fast food resturant, this could happen anywhere. Burger Kings are now building their play area's inside the buildings for more safe environment.
