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

Imbaraga z'ubumara

Iraruma

Ubumara busohokera mu menyo yayo y'ubumara cyangwa mu yandi menyo iyo iriye.

Ubumara bwayo bukora iki?

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

Iteje akaga kangana iki ku bantu?

Akaga ku bantu: IkomeyeKurumwa na yo bisaba kujya kwa muganga. Abapfa ni bake cyane.

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

Inkuru nziza: abaganga bafite umuti (umuti urwanya ubumara, antivenom) cyangwa uburyo bwo kuvura ibi.1

Ikora iki iyo ifite ubwoba?

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

Niba iruma

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

bikwiye kumenywa

Ibintu by'ukuri

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

Usenya ibinyoma

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

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