This is my first Pygmy Rattlesnake for 2017!

I never met any venomous snakes until I moved down to Arkansas. Last year, we found three of these Pygmy Rattlesnakes (Sistrurus miliarius).

Though these little rattlesnakes are venomous, they do not produce a lot of venom, so it is unlikely they a bite would kill an adult. However, they are still dangerous and pose a threat to children.

With a home-range of much of Southeastern United States, they can be a fairly common snake. Their camouflage and smaller size can make them harder to find. They rarely grow over two feet.
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.
