Phuket Travelers' Net Navigation Field General Information Travelers' Net General Information Email us Snake-Bite © General Information - Travelers' Net
This page should be a complete waste of space because most cases of snake-bite result from humans intentionally disturbing and threatening a snake. Venomous snakes do not enjoy biting people; they react to a perceived serious threat to their own safety. Most snakes will flee, undetected; when flight is not possible, they will warn the intruder by hissing or threat displays, such as rearing up and flattening the neck. Nobody should attempt to handle any animals of which he or she is not absolutely certain, both in terms of what it is and how dangerous it might be. Admire it from a safe distance, which may be as much as several meters in the case of spitting cobras. The best prevention of snake-bite is to watch carefully where you put your feet and hands and to give snakes the space they deserve. First-aid treatment for snake-bites Traditional first-aid methods for bites from venomous snakes were to apply a tourniquet or to cut into the bite site. These practices are now seriously discredited and maybe more dangerous than the bite itself. At present, medical professionals working with snake-bite victims agree that the best emergency treatment is to limit the blood flow from the bite site to the rest of the body while getting the patient to hospital.

Book reviews for Snakes Litteratura Serpentium (European Snake Society), volume 21, no. 2, 2001
'This is a book published by the Natural History Museum in London. This world famous museum has just begun a new series of nature books. The books that have already been published cover: one plant group, one animal species or one ecosystem. The titles that have appeared are about the deep sea, lichen, coral fish and snakes. These books are written to give the reader information about a particular subject in a more accessible way. Peter Stafford is a biologist for the museum, who has previously written 'The Adder' and 'A guide to the Reptiles of Belize' (1999). In the last ten years he has made numerous expeditions to Belize in preparation for this latest book. The wide range of snakes in Central-America was the subject of his research and gave rise to the writing of his book 'Snakes'. The back of the book promises a concise and richly illustrated introduction to the world of snakes. The average LS (

"An extremely well-written and scientific introduction to the evolutionary biology of snakes, interwoven with folklore and original observations on their natural history, supported by a massive bibliography and index. The hundreds of outstanding colour photographs . . . not only illustrate the various species but often show them in action. . . . This is a book to read for interest and pleasure as well as for accurate and original scientific information." J.L. Cloudsley-Thompson, Nature "It is a big book on a big subjectas rich in its way as a volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica , say, or the complete works of John Irving. . . . Filled with a planet's wealth of snakes, informed by Greene's lifetime of study in evolutionary biology and herpetology, illustrated gorgeously with photographs by Michael Fogden and Patricia Fogden, it gives vivid concreteness to that beleaguered abstraction, biological diversity. . . . Would it seem overmuch to say that no household, no serious library, should lack a copy of this stunning book? I don't think so. Life is short, but snakes are long."David Quammen, New York Times Book Review

69. General Description, East African Sandboa
belly and lower sides of an East African sandboa are opalescent white; the uppersurface has an orange background color, and dorsally the snakes are patterned
http://www.vpi.com/8VPICareSheets/Sandboas/EastAfricanSandboa/EastAfricanSandboa
go back to the VPI.com Home Page. Maintenance Requirements Scientific name: Eryx colubrinus loveridgei Other common names This is the sandboa species most often encountered in captivity in U.S. collections. It is often referred to as the Kenyan sandboa. In fact, "Kenyan sandboa" has been the most commonly used name to refer to this taxon in the past decade. The use of this name dates back to the mid-1970s when the first specimens were imported to this country, Kenya having been their country of origin. In fact the taxon occurs in several East African nations, and the name "East African sandboa" has been in use to refer to this taxon at least as long as has "Kenyan sandboa," though in recent years the second name has received more popular use. Since most U.S. captive specimens are descended from Tanzanian stock, it now seems that, of the two choices, "East African sandboa" is the more appropriate name. Size This is a heavy-bodied short snake. The head is not distinct from the neck, the eyes are small, the rostral scale overhangs the lower jaw. The scales on the dorsal surface are keeled and on the ventral surface are smooth. The tail is very short and tapers quickly to a dull point. The scales on the upper surface of the tail are very heavily keeled, almost sharp to the touch. Large specimens attain considerable bulk and girth. Large females approach and may slightly exceed two pounds in weight.

SNAKES
The Fairfax County Park Authority is committed to strategies which conserve the widest diversity of natural resources and promote a peaceful coexistence between those resources and the public. While there are a vital component of healthy natural systems, few animals elicit stronger reactions or are more feared and misunderstood than snakes. Snakes - General Natural History Snakes play an important role in maintaining the balance and diversity of native species. they are preyed upon by larger species and in turn keep rodent and insect populations in check. Snakes are cold-blooded reptiles. Their movements and activities are effected by temperature. they spend the cool months in hibernation and spend much of the summer under cover or basking in the sun. Snakes are both active and opportunistic feeders, taking advantage of the passing or "discovered" meal. Snakes' habitat, as for all wildlife, is one in which they can find suitable food and shelter. They may seek cover and prey in log piles, rocky outcrops or abandoned burrows. If made available to them, they may also find shelter in basements, trash dumps or attics. How to Discourage and Exclude Snakes from Your Home The following techniques will make your home and premises less attractive and available for snakes.

The general characterisation of Reptiles
Who are reptiles? Approximately 6,000 species of vertebrates belong to the class of reptiles ( Reptilia ). Most of them are dry land animals and are divided into four orders: Chelonia Rhyncocephalia Crocodilia and Squamata . Estonian reptiles (five species) belong to the order of Squamata What do reptiles look like? The appearance of reptiles that belong to different orders is different - it is either similar to a lizard, snake, turtle, or tortoise. We are not going to describe the appearance of the orders which do not live in our country (e.g. Chelonia and Crocodilia ).The skin of all reptiles is dry, without glands and covered with plates called scutes of different size. These protect the body of the animal. The body of a lizard has a head, neck, body, and tail. There are poorly developed legs at the sides of the body. The head of a snake evenly becomes a body and finishes with a tail. Snakes have no limbs. Python living in South-Eastern Asia is the longest snake in the world. The length of it can be up to 10 meters. The crocodile living in South-Eastern Asia as well is the heaviest reptile weighing up to 520 kg. The smallest reptile, a lizard-like gecko in Haiti, is 17 mm long. Where do reptiles live?

ATTENTION VISITORS ~
Ssssssss…Snakes alive!
If you visit Petroglyph during the spring or summer, you might see a snake. All snakes will escape from human contact given the opportunity. Most of the snakes found in Petroglyph are harmless and nocturnal.
However, Petroglyph does have a healthy population of two types of venomous snakes, the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) and the Western Prairie Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis)
While it is unlikely you will see either rattlesnake during your visit, there is a possibility since you are walking through their habitat. Snakes are mostly nocturnal, seeking shelter in rodent burrows or rock crevices during the hotter part of the day. In mild to warm temperatures, approximately 70-80 degrees, individuals may be seen warming themselves on basalt boulders, on trails and on blacktop roads. Snakes play a vital role in our ecosystem, feeding upon rodents that may be carriers of hantavirus.
In the event you come across a snake, here are some things to remember:

Reviewed by Janet Goldack. Volume 13 Number 2
1985 March
In twenty-four tall tales of Canada's past, a mythical prairie community (Deer River) and fictitious characters (Pete, Sparky and Jake) are brought to life by Ted Stone, a skillful and imaginative writer, and weekly columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press. These three real characters, who, in "just plain good conversation," tell whoppers with straight faces and ultimate sincerity, fill typical prairie meeting places, such as the coffee shop, general store and post office, with the warmth of "authentic" oral history. Black and white illustrations only add to the hilarity of these Canadian style Paul Bunyan tales, in which the reader feels a grain of truth may exist somewhere - but where? The author attempts to teach about storytelling in two chapters: "Something about Storytelling" and "Epilogue: How to Tell a Story", which help to give insight into this literary form and into the author's perspective of life. This publication is typical prairie humour, polished and performed for all of Canada to enjoy.

The General Anti-Creationism FAQ
Jim Meritt
Topics: Chaos and Complexity Life is too complex to have happened by chance. Another is the "randomness argument". What is "random", anyway? We are never told. It says that self organization cannot occur because the process is "blind" and "random" that is supposed to drive it. Never mind that the system has a finite number of states it can occupy and its history can constrain its future states. This borrows from the thermodynamic argument the confusion over entropy and open system states. The theory of evolution doesn't say it did happen by chance. This argument completely ignores natural selection. Please read:

If you're anything like me you have probably amassed a small library of these periodicals and now have trouble keeping tabs on what appeared in which issue. Mainly for the purposes of assisting people who want to find information on a specific species or topic, I offer the following index. It is by no means comprehensive, but it is fairly full and will be updated regularly. From January 2002 those articles most recently added will be printed in red text, to allow the viewer to see at a glance what is new.

So by gathering hundreds of sites and attempting to sort them by interest, you should be able locate most anything you would ever need to know here. Please remember that sites that dealer's may also offer great information. However, I have not done business with any of these companies (my snakes were local unwanted pets).
