Sidewinder Snakes
The sidewinder, also referred to as a horn viper, is known for its distinct way of crawling. As the name suggests, the sidewinder crawls in a characteristic j-shaped pattern. This rattlesnake lives in the deserts of Africa, North America, and the Middle East. While sidewinders are venomous, their bites aren’t fatal to humans. Their glands are smaller compared to other snakes, decreasing the lethal effect of its venom on the body. Nevertheless, getting bitten by one should still be taken seriously and medical treatment must be sought.
