The eastern massasauga is a small rattlesnake that lives in eastern North America, mainly around the Great Lakes. It is the only venomous snake in Ontario, Canada. It is shy and keeps away from people, but it is a protected species because its numbers have fallen sharply.1

It is most often found near wetlands such as swamps, marshes, bogs, fens, wet meadows and floodplains. It may also live in meadows, prairies and coniferous forests, and often uses crayfish burrows. In summer it may move to drier habitats.1

It eats small vertebrates, mainly rodents such as voles, white-footed mice, jumping mice and shrews. Juveniles mostly eat reptiles, usually lizards in western populations and snakes in eastern ones. Frogs are also an important food in some northern and eastern populations.1

Its venom is cytotoxic, which means it destroys tissue. It also contains digestive enzymes that disrupt blood flow and stop blood from clotting. In its prey, these effects cause severe internal bleeding.1

The snake is shy and avoids humans when it can. Most bites in Ontario happened after people handled it or accidentally stepped on it. Only two deaths from its bites have been recorded in Ontario, and in both cases the victims did not receive proper treatment.1

It is shy and tends to withdraw from people rather than confront them.1

Xibaar

It is a pit viper, a family that includes all rattlesnakes, and it is the only venomous snake in Ontario.1

Mothers and newborns stay together for a few days, until the young shed their skin for the first time.1

Females often do not breed every year, usually having a two-year breeding cycle.1

Its populations have declined so much that it has disappeared from many of its former areas, and now survives mainly in small, isolated groups.1
