The western massasauga is a small, venomous rattlesnake. It lives on the grassy plains and deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Its rattle is higher pitched than those of bigger rattlesnakes, so it can be easy to miss as a warning.1

Hello arano

It is mostly found in grassland, on the edge of open woodland and on rocky hillsides. It often uses the burrows of other animals for shelter. It is most often found near water or straight after rain, and prefers dry or heavily covered ground.1

Adults range from 35 to 91 cm in total length, tail included.1
It has a rattle, but it is higher pitched than the rattles of larger rattlesnakes.1

No jiibondiree e: Its colour pattern is similar to that of the eastern massasauga, but paler. The dark brown blotches contrast more strongly with its light ground colour.1

Its venom is a powerful hemotoxin, which damages blood and tissue. It can cause swelling, necrosis (death of body tissue) and severe pain. Its yield is low, so each bite delivers less venom than a larger rattlesnake's bite would.1

Hono musiiba mum heewiri e yimɓe?

Musiiba e yimɓe: Musiiba mawɗoŊatgol no haani doktoro. Maayde no famɗi sanne.

Its bite is less severe than that of larger rattlesnakes because it delivers less venom. Even so, the bite can be fatal if it is not treated.1

Its rattle is not a reliable warning, because its high pitch is easy to miss.1

Si no ŋata

Treatment should be sought immediately for any venomous snake bite. The antivenin CroFab is not specific to this snake, but it can be used to treat severe envenomation from massasaugas.1

Humpito

Its venom is as potent as that of larger rattlesnakes, but its low yield greatly reduces the harm it can do.1

It is nicknamed the buzztail because of its high-pitched rattle.1

It is mainly active at night and is considered mild-mannered and sluggish, especially in summer, when it is sometimes found basking.1

It was once considered a subspecies of the eastern massasauga.1

Bonnoowo fenaandeeji

Fenaande: A rattle always gives a clear warning before a rattlesnake bites.

Goonga: The western massasauga's rattle is higher pitched than those of larger rattlesnakes, so it should not be relied on as a warning.1
