The speckled rattlesnake is a venomous pit viper that lives in the rocky deserts and shrubland of the south-western United States and north-western Mexico. Its back is patterned so that it looks like a piece of granite, which helps it hide among rocks. Keep a safe distance from any rattlesnake you see in the wild.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

About thirty markings run along the back, often in the form of crossbars.1
Some markings are clearly defined geometric shapes, such as diamonds, hexagons or hourglasses.1
The markings are always darker than the ground colour, but the exact colour varies from snake to snake.1
Colouring usually matches the rocks where the snake lives.1
Adults generally do not exceed 100 cm in total length, including the tail.1

Akiuma

Mweke mtu bila kutikisika na mtulivu, weka kiungo kilichoumwa usawa wa moyo, ondoa pete na vitu vinavyobana, na umpeleke hospitali haraka.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama
