    Venomous Reptiles of Nevada Figure 1 The buzz from a rattlesnake can signal a heart stopping adventure to even the most experienced outdoor enthusiast. Figure 2 Authors M. L. Robinson, Area Specialist, Water/Environmental Horticulture, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Polly M. Conrad, Wildlife Diversity Biologist—Reptiles, Nevada Department of Wildlife Maria M. Ryan, Area Specialist, Natural Resources, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Updated from G. Mitchell, M.L. Robinson, D.B. Hardenbrook and E.L. Sellars. 1998. What’s the Buzz About Nevada’s Venomous Reptiles? University of Nevada Cooperative Extension—Nevada Department of Wildlife Partnership Publication. FS-98-35. SP 07-07 (Replaces FS-98-35) NEVADA’S REPTILES Approximately 52 species of snakes and lizards share the Nevada landscape with us. Of these, only 12 are considered venomous. Only 6 can be dangerous to people and pets. Encountering them is uncommon because of their body camouflage and secretive nature, which are their first defenses in evading predators. Consider yourself fortunate if you do see one! As with all wildlife, treat venomous reptiles with respect. Reptiles are ectothermic, meaning their body temperature increases or decreases in response to the surrounding environment. They are most active in the spring, summer and early fall when it’s comfortable, short sleeve weather for us. Reptiles usually hibernate, or brumate, in winter in response to colder temperatures. During high summer temperatures in the Mojave Desert, reptiles may spend time underground in order to maintain vital body temperatures. In most cases*, collecting Nevada’s native reptiles is not allowed without the appropriate permit, which is issued by the Nevada Department of Wildlife.

Geology is key to reducing risks from Nevada’s natural and from the references listed in the bibliography for general anthropogenic hazards (earthquakes, flash floods, drought, land information on the geology of the state, particularly subsidence, erosion after wildland fires, landslides, swelling and Stewart (1980), Stewart and Carlson (1978), Price and collapsing soils, radon, arsenic, and others). others (1999), and Price (2002). Nevada’s geologic fortunes make it the leading state in the production of gold, silver, barite, lithium, and mercury and a major Mountain ranges in Nevada, commonly about 10 producer of geothermal power and gypsum. The metals are primarily miles wide and rarely longer than 80 miles, are separated related to igneous activity, with major pulses of magma during the by valleys.
