Sometimes when you pick up baby snakes they get scared and bite you, but since they are tiny and don’t have any teeth yet it does zero damage and is just adorable
Until its a rattle snake and you die 10 min after
Or mama notice you messing with her babies and you ded
With the adult rattle snakes you can get to a hospital as it takes a little longer to kick in. The young rattle snakes give you way more venom and will kill you really fast.
That’s myth
According to your own article its partially true
There is a significant body of compelling research indicating that the size of the rattlesnake, and therefore the quantity of venom injected, is the most important determining factor of the severity of an envenomation. Bigger snakes tend to cause worse envenomations.
An adult rattlesnake produces, stores, and injects anywhere from 20–50x more venom (more sometimes, but let’s play this conservatively) than a baby. In this case, the huge increase in total quantity of venom injected has a much greater clinical effect on humans.
It is therefore safe to say that the overwhelming majority of the time, adult rattlesnakes produce more serious envenomations than their younger counterparts.
The only thing it says it’s that a baby snake can also kill you and that an snake bite is a snake bite, but as it says in the last quote: Adults are more dangerous that youngs.
They are actually born with a tooth called the egg tooth!
And once their venom fangs grow in, they often have a more dangerous bite than adult because they don’t yet know how to control dosage.
That’s a myth, there’s not enough venom in a baby snake to kill you nor does it have long enough fangs or that level of toxicity
EDIT: I was wrong, a baby snake can still kill you. It’s just that an adult injects more venom in you making it worse.
With the deweist skin 🥰
That snek face kills me every time, love it. Tho humans have a habit of assuming facial expressions on other animals convey similar emotions (they do sometimes, mostly for mammals), poor animal is probably going through fight/flight while you’re being all cute with it lol. Upside, this snek baby has limited memory and probably forgot about this.
