The pygmy rattlesnake is a small, venomous snake that lives in the southeastern United States. It is the smallest rattlesnake found on the North American continent. Its venom is strongly tissue-damaging, but the snake makes so little that a bite is unlikely to be fatal to an adult.1

It lives in flatwoods, sandhills, longleaf pine savannahs, mixed scrub oak forests and floodplains, and is also found near lakes and marshes. It does not dig its own burrows. It uses holes dug by small rodents or gopher tortoises, and it prefers densely vegetated areas for cover.1

Ululu wake umachita chiyani?

Its venom is cytotoxic, which means it damages cells, and it is strongly haemorrhagic, which means it causes bleeding. The venom is tissue-toxic but contains no neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. The snake produces only a small amount of venom and contains substantial amounts of serotonin and related compounds.1

The snake produces too little venom to be likely to deliver a fatal bite to a human adult.1

Imachita chiyani ikachita mantha?

Some individuals are very aggressive and strike furiously, while others are lethargic and do not rattle at all, and many are reluctant to bite.1
