The southwestern speckled rattlesnake is a medium-sized venomous snake that lives among rocks in the desert southwest of the United States and north-western Mexico. It is active mostly at night and hunts small mammals. Its colours vary with the rocks and soil around it, so it can blend in well.1

In southern California it has sometimes been found in chaparral or cactus country, but it rarely strays far from rocks. It has been found at elevations above 1,500 m (5,000 feet).1

Moč strupa

Ugrizi

Strup pride ven skozi strupnike ali zobe, ko ugrizne.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

This is a venomous snake, and its bite causes pain and tissue damage. In one case a bite on a thumb caused severe pain for about an hour, followed by discolouration, swelling and large blisters on the hand. In a second case, a bite on the heel first felt like a thorn prick, and within hours the calf was swollen and discoloured, with pain later spreading to the groin.1

Two recorded bite cases both caused severe pain, swelling and discolouration.1

Dobra novica: zdravniki imajo za to zdravilo (protistrup) ali zdravljenje.1

Če ugrizne

Bites are treated with antivenin in hospital, so get there fast.1
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

Dejstva

One snake had eaten eight birds, most likely goldfinches, that had come to a small bird bath fountain at a desert camp.1

Its colours and patterns change with the rocks and soil where it lives, which helps it blend in.1

It is mostly active at night and shelters in rock crevices or mammal burrows during the heat of the day.1

Snake enthusiasts and the venomous snake trade often call it a 'speck', with local versions such as 'blue speck' and 'lava speck'.1
