Matt Ellerbeck - The Snake Man's log May 14 2010 'Today I visited the Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba. The site has been designated as an Important Amphibian and Reptile Area (IMPARA) by the Canadian Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Network (CARCNET). This is due to the fact that at the dens more snakes can be viewed at a glance then at any other place in the entire world. Some estimates state that the site is home to over 80000 snakes, within a mere 3 square kilometers. The predominant species found at the dens is the Red-Sided Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis). Although the Plains Garter Snake (Thamnophis radix) is also prevalent, accounting for about 10% of the population. Upon arrival at the site, I quickly encountered many snakes before I even reached the first den entrance. They were crawling across the paths and slithering through the vegetation. Once I reached the entrances there were thousands upon thousands of snakes. They were slithering, basking, climbing, and mating. Some spots were literally carpeted in these reptiles. The ground just moved with activity. The areas adjacent to the entrances were also covered in snakes. Literally every step taken there were more snakes encountered. They covered the ground! I had to watch and make sure I didn't step on them. I spent hours at the sites just observing the masses of reptiles. On the way back from the dens I stopped in the town of Inwood to get a picture of the town's giant snake statue. As I ...

CHECK OUT THE RATTLE ON THIS SNAKE. Rattlesnakes are a group of venomous snakes of the genera Crotalus and Sistrurus of the subfamily Crotalinae ("pit vipers"). There are 32 known species of rattlesnake, with between 65-70 subspecies, all native to the Americas, ranging from southern Alberta and southern British Columbia in Canada to Central Argentina. Rattlesnakes are predators who live in a wide array of habitats, hunting small animals such as birds and rodents. They kill their prey with a venomous bite, rather than by constricting. All rattlesnakes possess a set of fangs with which they inject large quantities of hemotoxic venom. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding, and intense pain. Some species, such as the Mojave Rattlesnake, additionally possess a neurotoxic component in their venom that causes paralysis and other nervous symptoms. The threat of envenomation, advertised with the shaking of the rattle, deters many predators. However, rattlesnakes fall prey to hawks, weasels, king snakes, and a variety of other species. Rattlesnakes are heavily preyed upon as neonates, while they are still weak and mentally immature.
