Rock rattlesnake
The rock rattlesnake is a small rattlesnake that lives in the south-western United States and northern central Mexico. It spends most of its life among rocks and hides well by blending in with its surroundings. It is venomous, so it is important to know what it looks like and to give it plenty of room.1

Its venom is mainly a hemotoxin, a type of venom that acts on the blood and body tissues. It can also have significant neurotoxic effects, which attack the nerves.1
Intee buu dadka khatar ugu yahay?
Khatarta dadka: HalisQaniinyo waxay u baahan tahay dhakhtar. Dhimashadu aad bay u yar tahay.The snake is not aggressive and relies on camouflage, so it often will not strike or rattle unless it is harassed. However, if someone steps on it or touches it by accident, its immediate reaction is to bite. Most people bitten by this snake were hiking among rocks.1
War wanaagsan: dhakhaatiirtu waxay leeyihiin daawo (antivenom) ama daaweyn tan loogu talagalay.1
Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?
It relies on camouflage and will often stay still rather than strike or rattle unless it is physically harassed.1
Haddii uu qaniino
- Qofka ka dhig mid aan dhaqaaqin oo deggan, xubinta la qaniinay ku hay heerka wadnaha, ka saar faraantiyada iyo waxyaabaha adag, si degdeg ahna u geey isbitaalka.
Marka hore had iyo jeer wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911). Kani waa hage guud oo gargaar degdeg ah, ma aha talo caafimaad. Aasaaska gargaarka degdegga ah
Badbaado
- Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
- Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
- Haddii mid ku qaniino: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.
Kuma raadinayo. Suntiisa wuxuu u isticmaalaa inuu cunto ku qabsado ama isku difaaco, wuxuuna aad u door bidaa inuu dhuunto. Wax badan oo ku saabsan badbaadada

Xaqiiqooyin
A new segment is added to the rattle each time the snake sheds its skin, but the rattle can break off, so segments do not give a reliable age.1
Its rattle is made of keratin, the same material as human fingernails.1
Its colour generally reflects the colour of the rock where it lives, which helps it stay hidden.1
The young take three or more years to mature.1
Beeniye-jabiye
Khuraafaad: You can tell a rock rattlesnake's age by counting the segments on its rattle.
Run: A segment is added each time the snake sheds, but the rattle is fragile and can break off, and shedding frequency varies. So the number of segments cannot tell you its age.1
