It won't publish until later this year, but I talked to the veterinary snakebite expert that all my other experts said I should call. He said the idea that rattlesnakes had only hemotoxins is old. They've known the mohave had neurotoxins for a while, but now they know that at least 7 of 16 known species/varieties of rattlesnakes in North America have both hemotoxins and neurotoxins.<br /><br />And, yes, those big diamondbacks can deliver huge amounts of venom in one bite. I interviewed a woman (who lives in Malibu), and her 130-pound dog died from a single rattlesnake bite. They ran every day in the hills around her house. He survived the initial part, but he died 13 months later because his kidneys were shot from the venom load.<br /><br />Be careful out there!Roxanne @ Champion of My Hearthttp://www.championofmyheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844165707475010260.post-53283188682436872422010-09-01T15:56:38.993-07:002010-09-01T15:56:38.993-07:00OMD!

It looks Most Wonderful! I wish I could come! My mom's a big chicken little when it comes to snakes. Any snakes. At all. She's all "SQUEEEE! It's a teeny, tiny little garter snake but it might eat my head!"<br /><br />Sigh.
