  Is Great Basin Rattlesnake’s venom used for anything?

• 
  @GreatBasinGuardian4 ай бұрын

  Its primary use is for the snake to secure prey. Its secondary use is for defense. There may be medical applications, similar to other venoms. For example venom is used in pain relief, diabetes, and cancer research. Thanks for asking!

  The mass of limestone or dolomite that once held the gold hydrothermal deposits of Osceola has long since eroded, resulting in the past one hundred years of periodic mining activity being almost totally placer mining. The few lode mines quickly played out. Any comment on that original hydrothermal deposition?

  Yesterday, while hiking (in UT), my 7 year old spotted a snake on the trail. She is not a stranger to snakes and doesn't have a fear of them. Like she has at home, in the backyard, she grabbed it. Showed us the snake. Happily holding it like a trophy. Upon closer examination, we determined it was DEFINITELY a rattlesnake! And likely this Great Basin rattlesnake! We're still in shock at how lucky she was to not get bitten!!!! Thanks for the info on this video.

  Wow! Thanks for sharing. So glad for this outcome. The GB rattlesnake tends to be docile, but this is quite a story! Your daughter may be a future snake biologist (:

  Wowza! Maybe it had just eaten or was cold. Regardless, that would be heart stopping. So glad nothing came of it. I saw a great basin rattler hiking up to Bell Canyon Falls in Sandy, September. About 20' off the trail, 4' long, just going along doing its thing.

  Interesting video, but Wheeler is actually the 2nd tallest mountain in Nevada.

• 
  @BajzerMD7 күн бұрын

  Not exactly. The highest point in Nevada is Boundary Peak, however it is a subpeak of Montgomery Peak in California and does not have enough prominence to be considered a "mountain" by the USGS, thus making Wheeler Peak the tallest mountain in Nevada (but not the highest point). It's a semantic difference, admittedly, but I think Wheeler Peak is much prettier as well so I'm sticking with it! ;)

  Good presentation except you had to throw in the standard line about global warming…the local daily weather at any location causes a lot more temperature variation than the few tenths of a degree attributed to apg warming…in fact the earth hasn’t warmed any since 2017 or so and has been cooling a bit…no one knows what the temperature of the earth is or should be anyway…climate has changed tremendously with warmer and cooler periods before man ever arrived on the scene…it will continue to do so after man is gone from the planet…imo of course…

  I run into these snakes a lot at work (we are locate right on the edge of the Wasatch Mountain Range) during the summer months. They are very docile so it makes sense that the camera man could get lots of close up shots of these snakes.

  Education and conservation protects the rattlesnake, ourselves and other species... The ecosystem needs protection from humans (fears) just as humans need the ecosystem.... If a rattler poses a danger it must be removed to a safe location if possible. I certainly don't want them in or around my home.

  The Great Basin Rattlesnake is my favorite venomous snake...remember back in 2020 when everything was locked down and there was a huge reduction in CO2 but there wasn't a significant reduction in temperature? I'm starting to think that climate change may not be caused by humans.

  @ExiledGypsy2 жыл бұрын

  I have heard this defence of snakes, i.e. controlling rodent population so many times that I finally had to sit and think about it myself and I might be wrong but it just doesn't add up. A rattlesnake might eat a rat or mouse every other day if not less. By comparing that to the rate at which rodents procreate you can easily see that it is just negligent. That is even before talking about predation on snakes by all sorts of other predators, different birds and mammalian snake hunters who can consume several snakes a day (thank god). Just look at Australia and the number of venomous and non-venomous snakes there and yet they have regular mice (invasive specie) population explosions. They also had problem with the rabbits (another invasive) population explosion If anything snakes are attracted to the human population because of rodents. Otherwise, they have no reason to risk the danger of confronting a large number of potential adversaries. They often run away as soon as they feel the vibration of a passerby. So, please someone give me a decent scientific counter-argument or stop spreading this myth. Rodent population control has more to do with cats than anything else. Snakes can't make a dent in the rodent population on their own. There has to be a snake population density comparable to that of snake island in Brazil for them to make a difference. Once this myth is gone then maybe we can look for the real evolutionary reason for snakes and then treat them accordingly.

  They are dangerous, dude. Just because you study them doesn't excuse you from downplaying their will and ability to defend themselves. Do you work for the government or a non-profit or both? The uniform your wearing seems like BLM or NPS.
