3 Of The Deadliest Snakes In The USA

[@Dukephillips88]

As a guy who has caught and relocated a bunch of rattlesnakes, I'm glad you pointed out that usually snakes are defensive creatures. People mostly get bit by either being unlucky (not seeing them) or by being stupid (screwing around with them).

Timbers are often called canebrake rattlers in most ares of the Southeast. We have them in Arkansas too along with copperheads and water moccasins.

@Shane Woods If that's true a herpetologist/biologist should be contacted to have the cottonheads lol documented officially and photographs taken along with the exact location turned over to Wildlife biologist in the state of Mississippi. Though they both belong to the akistrodon species pitviper family the cottonmouth is a semi aquatic cannibalistic snake eating scavenging species that their diet mainly consists of fish, small turtles, frogs, carrion and other small water birds. The copperhead is not semi aquatic, cannibalistic scavengers their diet is mainly small mammals and insects that is why there have not been any hybrids documented in the wild by officially trained wildlife biologist.

@Triston Howard True the Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake and the Canebrake rattlesnake that live in the Coastal plains and long leaf pine forest in the Southeastern quarter of the United States can mate and produce hybrids that can live in the wild.

I live Brooklyn NY so most of the snakes I see these days walk on two legs but I spent a good part of my catching snakes in western Massachusetts. I know that there were Timber Rattlers around but I never saw one. Years later, my mom's caregiver would tell me she sees them regularly. It makes me think that they are very localized in their ranges.

Anytime someone ask me “what’s the deadliest snake” I will always say “the one that just bit you” because a snake isn’t deadly until you force it to take action. Although you’re certainly correct, these species have the most potential to harm someone IF forced into that position Also thank you for clarifying that they only bite out of defense. 6:10 Defensive* snakes cannot possibly be aggressive. As that would insinuate that they attack unprovoked, which they don’t. They will bite you in a defensive measure, but not just for the fun of it.

You mentioned that cottonmouths live around flowing water, but we see them in lakes too in Georgia. Also see them in ponds and swampy areas.

[@queen_nat4586]

I'm proud of myself for successfully guessing all 3 before the video even started. The water park near where I grew up had a timber rattlesnake invasion one year when I was a toddler and straight up had to shut down multiple rides all summer. The water for these rides was just river water, since they were just boat rides, so it wasn't chlorinated. At the time people were surprised no one got bit since the park itself stayed open and it was just those few rides that got closed.

[@themakoshark101]

While the deadliest snake is definitely the rattlesnake, I feel like the most dangerous snake is the coral snake. If it wasn’t for the fact they rarely bite and most bites are dry bites, they’d probably be the deadliest snake in the US. Here in the US we have a saying that goes “Red touch yellow kill a fellow. Red touch black, friend of Jack.” This is because there’s another non venomous snake called the milksnake that mimics the colors of the coral snake. The symptoms are actually pretty scary to. It’s not like pit viper venom in that it’s mostly nerotoxic and you don’t feel pain from the venom for hours, which makes people think it was a dry bite. After a couple hours though, symptoms appear rapidly and it becomes hard for people to seek help because the venom causes paralysis.

[@rothed16]

Luckily they are more likely to give way less venom than the others and give dry bites more often

[@richardhincemon]

Only 1 fatality since the late nineteen sixtys from a Coral snake since Micursus Wyeth Laboratory development of antivenin for all 3 species Coral snakes now manufactured by Pfizer Laboratory.

[@mjmwise]

Coral snake bites must be very infrequent. As for Eastern Diamondbacks, I used to lead many rock climbing trips each summer and found that by respectfully giving them distance and moving slowly in their vicinity, I had no problem with them. Thought it had something to do with them wanting to preserve their energy and venom for prey.

[@TsukiCove]

yeah I agree they only use their venom if they really feel like they need to because it's very valuable to them

[@rothed16]

The corals although 2nd most potent venom of the US snakes rarely bites and give very small amouts of venom(10-15mg) if any at all ass dry bites are common. Copperheads give off around 35-50mg and have the least toxic although bites are common due to their great camouflage. Cottonmouth aka water moccasins which are close cousins of Copperheads give off 30-60mg, but as shared in this video have only killed around 2 people in the last 70 years due to them being more Defensive and able to ward off predators like us or by fleeing the scene. Both these snakes can and will give off dry bites alot of the times. Now rattlers are different giving the least amount of dry bites and the amount of venom they give is huge. 80-280+MG of venom with each bite. Quantity trumps toxicity in the US and more die from rattlesnake bites each year. 3-5 deaths a year mostly by rattlesnakes

[@richardhincemon]

Snake venom is either neurotoxic or hemotoxic. Some of the recent research has shown the Pacific rattlesnakes venom has evolved to become become both neuro and hemo toxic.

[@N330AA]

Tbh i wouldn't really describe any US snakes as deadly. Most people that have died do so from anaphylactic shock. There aren't really any that can kill a healthy adult, even without treatment. A possible exception is Tiger Rattlesnake. But overall they are far less dangerous than Asian, Australian and African elapids. However you definitely don't want to be bitten by one as the tissue damage from bites is horrendous. And as you note, you could easily lose a limb.

[@TsukiCove]

Yes i agree it's normally from anaphylactic shock that's why there's only been a few deaths for each snake is 70 years.

[@rothed16]

It's that tissue damage you want to go to the hospital for as Noone wants to loose a body part from a bite. The corals, cottonmouth and copperhead bite deaths are mostly from people not seeking medical attention and as mentioned anaphylactic shock

I live in N.A. and have encountered the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake and the eastern Copperhead in their natural environments. The Rattlesnake unless you step over a log onto one , most often they start rattling their tale announcing their presence. From experience let me tell you Rattlesnakes do not sound the same as they do on T.V. in real life circumstances. Television shows make them sound like baby rattle toys. You can eat Rattlesnake and tastes like chicken. Copperheads are dangerous. They're silent, blend in with their environment. They look similar to the brown water snake that looks identical except that they don't have fangs, poison sacs, cat eyes, nostril pits. If you walked up on one unknowingly you might this it's a copperhead. You won't think copperheads are water snakes because the copperhead will defend itself in a retractable way while striking in a typical poisonous snake kind of way. In doing this they show their fangs and triangular shaped heads. I experienced this a few years back while exploring a creek bed when I walked up on two copperheads making baby copperheads when out of the wiggling snakes came a triangular head , mouth open, fangs flashing and me getting the heck out of there without getting bitten.

[@BBLeviathan-Gaming]

I’d like to point out that copperheads aren’t deadly because of their venom. If I remember correctly, they actually have the weakest venom of the forward fanged snakes in North America. What actually kills people is the necrosis that occurs when the bite isn’t treated and the tissue damage caused by it spreads. You’re most likely going to survive a copperhead bite, but you’ll be in a world of pain until the venom is either removed from your body or antivenom is administered. I’ve heard that it’s more like a wasp sting over the entire affected area than lava in the veins like others are described as being. Not saying they aren’t dangerous if provoked or you can just grab one and sleep it off, but for the most part copperheads have a very overinflated bad rep for no good reason.

[@rothed16]

It's because of how frequent they are around humans and their great camouflage. 4,000-8,000 bites a year by our venomous snakes with half coming from copperheads. Weak venomous, but most the deaths they have caused is as you mentioned by not seeking medical attention

[@michaelpriestley1304]

Necrosis is cottonmouth bites not copperheads. I had to take my dog to the vet for a baby copperhead bite to the face this past summer. The vet told me they usually aren't fatal but the venom can cause blood clotting issues.

@@michaelpriestley1304 my mistake. It’s very hard to keep track of what venom does what with so many venomous snakes, and I forgot to double check I had the right symptoms

[@richardhincemon]

@Battleship Leviathan Copperheads and Cottonmouths both have hemotoxic venom that break down blood cells causing swelling hemorrhaging and necrosis. Their have been 5 deaths from copperhead bites since 2004 and only 1 from a cottonmouth bite since 1971 CRO FAB antivenin is used when treating the bites of all North American pit vipers and if you're bitten seek medical attention asap. The good news is that only 0.2 percent of snake bites are fatal in the United States 🇺🇸 .

We've got Coral Snakes, Mojave's and Eastern/Western Diamond Back's and you pick cotten mouth and copper heads, which can only kill by causing Anaphylactic shock..

[@richardhincemon]

Akistrodon contortrix the Copperhead has been responsible for 5 fatal snake bites since 2004 even though they don't have the most toxic venom . Micrurus fulvius the Eastern Coral snake has pure neurotoxic venom but rarely bites humans only if they are stepped on or mishandled will they bite most of the time it's a dry bite meaning that no venom was injected. Only one person has died from a Coral snake since the late nineteen sixties when Coral snake antivenin was developed by Wyeth Laboratory and is now manufactured by Pfizer Laboratory. The Mojave Green rattlesnake LD 50 0.18mgkg sc hemotoxic and neurotoxic venom is the most toxic venom of any rattlesnake but they live in the deserts of the Southwestern United States and rarely come into contact with humans. The Timber/Canebrake rattlesnake is responsible for the most fatalities in the United States but the Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake with a venom yield of 400mg to 450mg of hemotoxic venom is the most dangerous snake. Akistrodon piscivorus or cottonmouth watermoccasin has a venom yield of 100mg to 170mg of hemotoxic and cytotoxic venom capable of killing humans but rarely bites only one person has died since 1971 from a cottonmouth bite.

I could be wrong, I know the desert contains numerous subspecies of Rattler. Canebrake and Mojave simultaneously attack the blood and the central nervous system regulating breathing and heart rate.

The Coral Snake? Also, while the Timber Rattlesnake has killed more people per say. I'd have to rank the western diamondback being the deadlier of the two. It's far more aggressive and can be found around populated areas as well.

Come Australia we got brown snaked living in back yards

[@ericburton5163]

This just goes to show that people and "dangerous" animals can live together as long as respect is given. For how populated the eastern US is, you would think the stats would be much higher (especially because a few of the venomous snakes can be found in suburban areas). Unfortunately most of the time that I hear of people getting bitten its either children or people (and the snake) taken by surprise. After studying in / visiting a few countries in Europe, I had to laugh at us Americans and how we interact with wildlife (at least in the suburban Midwest where I'm from). My saying after that was "land of the free, and home of the brave except when it comes to furry and feathered friends". While watching Americans run away from turkey, geese, deer, and squirrels is hilarious (I myself do the same), I do believe the respect/fear that we are taught to exhibit does allow us to coexist with all of these animals better. My experience in England, where parents were encouraging their kids to try and pet squirrels freaked me out. That's when I learned England doesn't have rabies!

Be nice to snakes

I grew up in an area with Northeastern Timber Rattlesnakes. Until the early 1970s there were Rattlesnake roundups in which the snakes were killed at the end of the event. Then the roundups were made illegal and the roundups ceased. Rattlesnakes are such an American icon, and it seems stupid that people were destroying them for sport.

[@cathyhendrix7552]

Make no mistake,....it wasn't done for sport. Or at least it didn't start out that way. Back when that started there were a lot more snakes than people out "west". The snakes were killing livestock, which was the way they made a living. And also there were more human deaths to. There's quite a bit more knowledge about snakes than what there used to be. Also antivenom is more readily available. So when rattlesnake roundups first started, the snakes were way overpopulated, and it seemed like a handy solution. It became a yearly event and grew to where they have a county fair with it. Or did have. I'm guessing that they still do. But anyways, I digress. That is how and why the original rattlesnake roundup first started. Ya little whipper snapper.

[@the4thblacksnake]

I would of thought the western rattlesnake would be number one.

[@rothed16]

He combined them and westerns n easterns do cause death, but timbers are sited more often as they tend to be around more populations of people than other rattlers

[@richardhincemon]

Western Diamondback rattlesnake and Copperheads are responsible for the most bites not fatalities.

[@JeffTheHokie]

Were these snakes picked out randomly? Moccasins (cottonmouths and copperhead)s are FAR less dangerous than rattlesnakes. These are supposed to be 2 of the "3 deadliest"? If I was told that I HAD to be bitten by a venomous American snake, I would much rather it be one of those 2.

[@Hunter-lt3bl]

Please don’t spread misinformation about how venomous snakes can be like this. There are plenty of species that are much more venomous than Eastern Copperheads and Cottonmouths here in the US. Typically the worst that happens with those two bites are the loss of a digit or limb, but fatalities attributed to these two are rare. Most of the crotalus species dwarf them in their sheer venom potency and fatality rate when people do get bitten.

[@ophiophxgic]

not to mention copperheads have relatively weak venom compared to most other vipers, im usually a fan of tsukis videos but i keep noticing many inaccuracies, this whole video doesn’t even make sense, if i made a video like this id include the eastern coral snake, the eastern diamondback with the timber rattlesnake together and the mojave rattlesnake at the end

[@richardhincemon]

Copperheads have a hemotoxic venom and are responsible for 5 fatal bites since 2004. Cottonmouths have a stronger hemotoxic venom but have only been responsible for 1 fatal bite since 1971. Nobody should have to fear snakes but you can avoid a high price hospital bill by wearing clothes and shoes when you are in a habitat known for snakes. Most snake bites occur when people either step or touch them accidentally due to their camouflage. Crofab antivenin is sold to hospitals at a discount price of 3200 dollars per vial which results in the patient having to pay 12895 dollars per vial hospital 🏥 charges. Snake bit in the wallet 😳!

[@ophiophxgic]

@@richardhincemon idk the statistics for Copper/Cotton bites, but the overwhelming majority of rattlesnake bites are on the hands and face, and almost always happen under the affects of alcohol

[@richardhincemon]

@shxde The majority of snake bites in the United States are from copperheads and western Diamondback rattlesnakes with the bites occurring on the lower extremities and hands when they are stepped on or touched accidentally. People who choose to handle venomous snakes occasionally get bit in the face that's a risk they take and no fault of the snakes. Alcohol and snakes is not ever a good combination fortunately theirs only a 0.2 percent chance of dying from snake bite with antivenin and medical treatment in the United States 🇺🇸.

[@mcfaddenoutdoors4640]

You should have included the most poisonous snake we have which really does not kill a lot of people probably any of that the coral snake

Coral snakes are weird because they're very very venomous but there fangs are small

Coral snakes are the most venomous in the u.s. and there is also the the northern king snake that looks like it but it's not venomous.

[@TsukiCove]

there are plenty of rattlesnakes i didn't include but the stats show that most deaths were from the timber rattlesnake

[@N330AA]

I don't think they've ever killed anyone. But they're super cute 😍

[@aikentan1134]

@@TsukiCovelisten you forgot the eastern coral snake yeah many people don’t die cause they are docile but they are so deadly there is a rhyme about it

[@michaelveis4985]

You left out the Coral Snake.

[@christianeaster2776]

The only snakes that should be considered in this are indigenous ones. Others like Bermese pythons or pets don't qualify. I nominate eastern timber rattlesnake, western rattlesnake, and the sidewinder. While the copperhead is more common, their bite is seldom fatal to a healthy person. Coral snakes are perhaps the most poisonous, but they are small and have small teeth making it difficult to give a fatal bite. Water moccasins are somewhere between a rattlesnake and copperhead in poisonousness. We have no constrictors that in and of themselves as dangerous as a python.

[@richardhincemon]

Venom is injected into the bloodstream from fangs and poison has to be injested or come into contact with skin to have a dangerous effect like amphibians that have poisonous toxins on their skin and poison ivy that have poisonous toxins on their leaves.

[@michaelveis4985]

You left out the Eastern Coral Snake. This snake has neurotoxins in it's venom.

[@richardhincemon]

Only 1 fatality since 1960.

Wrong again whoever you are narrating this the deadliest rattlesnake is not the timber rattler its is in fact drop for drop the tiger rattlesnake found in az along with the Mojave rattler. Drop for drop the three dealiest snakes in the us are the tiger rattlesnake, mojave rattlesnake and timber rattlesnake

[@richardhincemon]

Mojave rattlesnake ld 50 0.18 mgkg SC Tiger rattlesnake ld 50 0.21 mgkg SC These are the most toxic venomous rattlesnake species. The Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake capable of delivering 1000 mg of hemotoxic venom venom with 1 inch fangs and a bite force of 150 psi is the most dangerous rattlesnake in North America. The Timberlake/Canebrake rattlesnake is responsible for the most fatalities from snake bites in the US. Most toxic and the deadliest are two different things.
