OUTDOORS
IN TEXAS
By Vent Sanfortl
No creature in Texas is shrouded
with so many myths and half-
truths as the rattlesnake.
Tills deadly reptile really has
more of an overblown reputation
than a true ease history
Facts gathered by the Texas
Department of Public Health re-
veal that more Texans die from in-
sect stings than from snakebite
But this doesn't discourage those
who preach the rattlesnake myth.
Even though they have no btoloui
cal proof they continue to tell
stories about this much-publicizt <1
reptile. Yet many people accept
their statements us fact.
Here are just a few of the more
common myths credited to the
rattler:
1. A mama rattlesnake will swal-
low her young upon impending
danger.
2 By stretching a Manila rope
about your camp at night, you're
protected since no rattlesnake will
crawl over a hair rope.
3. A large rattlesnake can inject
more than a teacup of venom.
•I Extract the fangs of a rattler
and it is harmless forever.
5. Rattlesnake broth is a sure
cure for pneumonia.
There arc many other such
myths But this sampling gives you
some idea as to what many pinipli
have come to accept as truthful
about the rattlesnake. In fact, it
has gotten to the point where it
is difficult to distinguish myth from
fact.
For example, it is common be-
lief that six-foot rattlesnakes are
abundant, particularly in South
Texas — home of our biggest rat-
tlers Yet, from an advertisement
in Texas Game and Fish Maga-
zine, official publication of the
Slate Parks and Wildlife Commis-
sion, a few years back, calling for
six-fool rattlers, there was eaij
one answer. And this op: jusi bare-
ly made s'x
Truth ~"ii ■ ">r five
feet is ran • tv i "oC" • gen-
emus eyes win .. •' . 4 sn •• ; big
rattler. Many a to. has
grown to six feet or 11,01c ai'er
the story bus been told a few
times.
One of the greatest fallacies
about rattlers is that their true age
can be determined by the number
of rattlers they carry. Yet a two-
year old rattler may have as many
rattles as one four years old. So, |
the number of rattles actually is a
very poor indication of age.
Hunting rattlesnakes has become |
ii popular winter pastime through-
out Texas In some places, such
as Sweetwater, rattlesnake round-
ups are staged annually. They at-
tract contestants from throughout
the shite, as well as from other
states,
Most hunters capture snakes by
spraying gasoline into known rat-
tler dens and catching the groggy
reptiles after the tunics have
driven them Into the open.
Favorite weapon is n snare It
is made from a long piece of alum-
inium tubing with a piece of wire
doubled through it leaving a loop
at one end This loop is dropped
over a snake'* head and the loose
ends at the opimsite end are pulled
to draw the loop taut.
Some people even eat rattle-
snake Those who have tried it say
it Is fairly delectable. It tastes
something like a cross between
chicken and fish
Most famous member of the
Texas rattler family is the West-
ern Diamondback. This snake has
a large and heavy body and will
average between three and four
feel in length. A litter of young,
born alive, will average about 12,
but ones of 20 or more or not un-
common.
Most notable characteristics of
this snake are the diamond shaped
markings along the back ami the
distinctive black and white lings
ort the tail, above the rattles.
Its head is broad, flat and tri-
angular Fangs are about one-half
inch long and are recurved, fold-
ing flat against the roof of the
mouth. This snake can open its
mouth until both upper ami lower
jaws are completely vertical
Diamondbacks are responsible
for more deaths than any other

ed string of segments that are in j

Is frenzied.
Do not depend on the sound of
the rattle to give warning. Some
rattlers have been known to re-
main mute before striking: others
might have lost their rattles
through some mishap.
A rattler sheds his skin during
the active warm-weather season.
In vvitner it hibernates in its den
and does not normally shed.
It liegins the shed by rubbing
its mouth against some object,
loosening the lip scale. Then It
works the loose skin free from the
head and crawls out, leaving the
skin turned inside out.
The rattler is a pit-viper, with
the heat-detecting pit between eye
and nostril.
A rattler has no ears, therefore
its strike is directed at a heat
source and also at vibrations.
