The pygmy rattlesnake is a small, venomous snake that lives in the southeastern United States. It is the smallest rattlesnake found on the North American continent. Its venom is strongly tissue-damaging, but the snake makes so little that a bite is unlikely to be fatal to an adult.1

Mga kagat

Lumalabas ang kamandag sa pangil o ngipin nito kapag nangangagat ito.

Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?

Its venom is cytotoxic, which means it damages cells, and it is strongly haemorrhagic, which means it causes bleeding. The venom is tissue-toxic but contains no neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. The snake produces only a small amount of venom and contains substantial amounts of serotonin and related compounds.1

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?

Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.

The snake produces too little venom to be likely to deliver a fatal bite to a human adult.1

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

Some individuals are very aggressive and strike furiously, while others are lethargic and do not rattle at all, and many are reluctant to bite.1

Kung kumagat ito

Mga fact

Its venom was the basis for the drug eptifibatide, which is used to prevent clotting during a heart attack.1

It is the smallest rattlesnake found on the North American continent.1

Its rattle is unusually small, which may show the early stages of how rattles evolved.1

Snake fungal disease has risen sharply in pygmy rattlesnakes over the past decade and is a major cause of death, though some snakes have recovered in the field.1

Females may give birth to live young even while infected with snake fungal disease.1

Myth buster

Mito: Its bite is deadly to people.

Totoo: The snake makes so little venom that a bite is unlikely to be fatal to an adult human.1
