The Mexican west coast rattlesnake is a large venomous pit viper. It lives on the coastal plain of western Mexico. It is one of the largest rattlesnakes in the world, so its size and its strong venom make it one to respect.1

Its habitat is mostly tropical thorn forest, extending into tropical deciduous forest. Around Colima, where it is particularly plentiful, the land is mostly treeless with short grass, scattered mesquite, acacias, thorny bushes and many large cacti.

Large specimens should be regarded as very dangerous. An average venom yield of 297 mg of dried venom has been recorded.1

Če ugrizne

Poškodovanca drži pri miru in ga pomirjaj, ugriznjeni ud drži v višini srca, odstrani prstane in tesne stvari ter ga hitro odpelji v bolnišnico.

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te ugrizne: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti
