The western diamondback rattlesnake is a large, venomous pit viper that lives in the southwestern United States and the northern half of Mexico. It is thought to cause most snakebite deaths in northern Mexico and more snakebites in the United States than any other snake. Its diamond-shaped back markings and loud rattle make it easier to recognise, but it should always be given plenty of space.1

Its venom is mainly hemotoxic, which means it mainly damages blood vessels, blood cells and the heart. It contains enzymes that break down tissue, along with cytotoxins and myotoxins that destroy cells and muscle. Local effects include pain, heavy internal bleeding, severe swelling, muscle damage, bruising, blistering and tissue death, and general effects may include headache, nausea and vomiting.1

Bayanai

1

It can go up to two years without food in the wild. In a starvation study, snakes cut their energy use by an average of 80% and still grew, as they put resources into muscle and bone.1

2

A juvenile was once found dead after trying to swallow a horned lizard, whose horns punctured its gullet.1

3

It is likely the second largest rattlesnake species, behind only its close relative the eastern diamondback rattlesnake.1

4

It is one of the few snake species that scavenges for food.1

5

Among rattlesnakes, it may be the most adaptable to towns and suburbs, and it thrives deep within developed areas.1

6

It is an important predator of small rodents, rabbits and birds, and it is itself eaten by coyotes, foxes, hawks and owls.1
