First time I've heard the term Mojave Green since I was in. My Platoon Sgt grew up in Nevada and warned us about them before we went to NTC. Never did see one.

Interesting. Almost every website and survival book that addresses snakebite, that I have read, says to make a safe attempt to identify the type of snake. Quote HistoryQuoted:

No, that is a classic example of a Mojave. To me, the difference is stark and immediately apparent. There is only one treatment for all North American pit viper envenomations. Regardless of which species you may have been bitten by, you are going to receive the same treatment. There is no need to kill, or bring the snake with you for ID purposes.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeeeeaah, looks to me like Russian Roulette, sooner or later, you're gonna lose. ETA.... Hmmm, looks like duct tape holding together sheetrock wall. Little kids pressing their weight against a cheap piece of fatigued plexiglas screwed to sheetrock. what could possibly go wrong? the plexiglas breaks, the kids fall in, on top of a dozen large rattlers, and several pissed off diamondbacks envenomate them, while their parents watch. sorry. I've been on this planet long enough to see plenty of people injured/killed from stupid stuff like that. |

Always thought that the Timber Rattler had the most potent venom of the U.S. rattlesnakes. They just have a milder disposition when it comes to biting people.
