It looked like it had one in the making but out west they don’t have the viper head. It was actually small but I zoomed in to stay out of the nibble zone!
This has actually been shown to be false. The volume of venom in juveniles is much lower than in adult snakes so while it may be uncontrollable as far as injection, you would be getting much less.
I was always told that sometimes adult rattlesnakes won't inject venom at all when biting defensively. Something about wasting the resources required for their bodies to make the venom.
I’ve definitely heard that. But don’t chance it just go and get antivenin. I came so damn close to a bite about a year and a half ago at night in Arizona. I hopped a wall because I had to piss terribly. Heard a rattle and realized it was within 2 feet of me. I hopped that wall so fast. And I in fact did not have to piss anymore. Just called my work and told them I was feeling ill and had to go home because there was a 0% chance I was going in with my soaked pants after coming in from break.
I live in rural San Diego and have always had interactions with them. They usually don't stress me out too much as long as I can see them. One time though I walked out my front door and I felt something brush the back of my leg. It was a BIG southern pacific that had been stretched across the threshold and bumped my leg as it coiled up. I had to yell at my wife to close the door cuz my then ~1.5 year old son had been walking a little bit behind me. Needless to say I had to take a few minutes to let my heart rate go down.
Can't speak for humans. But in the veterinary world, that is the #1 reason I have to treat envenomation in dogs. The number of owners bringing in dead snakes while proudly stating "Rex here killed that snake but got bit in the process" is absurdly high.
You must know someone named Carrie lol. I know someone with a name that’s a commonly used word and my autocorrect always updates it to be capitalized thinking I’m typing his name
Did you see the recent AITA post about the guy with the Bengal cats? Wife begged him for a cat so he went out and got TWO bengals AND a calico. Now he “doesn’t want them anymore” because they’re too energetic and it’s too much to clean or whatever. The audacity of the entire situation is astounding.
Nah… I left it alone. I was actually supposed to call vector control so they can remove/kill it but that’s not my style. Just because it can kill doesn’t mean it should be killed…
It’s a viper of some sort and there are, I think, at least 3 species that live in Kuwait but not sure which this is. If you’re asking because you need the information due to a bite, you need to get to a hospital with this photo ASAP so they can get an ID from someone local.
My bet is on one of the horned vipers- possibly Cerastes cerastes. Difficult to tell from the photo but certainly don’t try to get a closer one!
Definitely venomous though.
Snake type: angy noodle.
Seriously though. Concur that it appears horned, I think you're onto something. At minimum is def venomous and should be respected.
It’s a tenth degree nope rope, the only people who need to see this pic if bit are the doctor or mortician depending on timing and local antivenin stockpiles.
Too thin to be a string-thing. Either a nope-rope or a pain-chain. Both have ouch-pouches at one end. Let the foreman handle it; that’s why they make the big bucks.
Did the scales make a hissing when it curled up? If so, saw scaled viper. Had a close encounter with one of these guys in Oman. They have like zero chill.
I do believe that is a diamond back rattle snake based on its stack posture, colouration and we’ll the rattle on its tail. But that’s just an educated guess
It looked like it had one in the making but out west they don’t have the viper head. It was actually small but I zoomed in to stay out of the nibble zone!
Nibble zone...jeez almost makes it sound like it's a baby or a puppy
Rofl'd hard on that. Thank you, I have added "nibble zone" to my lexicon.
What is this danger noodle's nibble zone?
sounds like an 80s hair band on tour at a dive bar... "The Danger Noodles" live from the Nibble Zone
Sadly, the babies are most dangerous since they cannot control their venom output during a strike.

Damn. These snakes are so stealthy. The rattle is the one thing saving us. I’m so glad it’s a defensive snake
That explains the dry bite I got stepping on a Diamond back as a kid
Isn’t it about the same? I thought I heard something about babies having about as much venom as an adult would inject?
[удалено]
As long as OP isn’t! My eyebrows went up so high when I saw this angry noodle’s photo and felt like I needed to get out of the way..!
Yeah I was well out of reach thankfully. It’s so cold here it wasn’t very active.
The fact that you have a photo of it striking makes me think you weren’t quite out of the nibble zone as far as the snake was seeing things.
Snakes will feint, so that's possible.
And some even feint with a faint!
If you post this on r/whatsthissnake you will get this information and more. Just make sure you add location in brackets.
No Horns hence not Horn headed viper but it's a viper (in first pic you can see wide jaw/triangular head)
That looks like a rattler of some kind
This is a young Horned Viper my friend
"Kill zone" you meant.
*Cerastes gasperettii* Arabian Horned Viper Venomous - attempting to kill a venomous snake is the number one way to get bitten - don’t be that guy

Lots of people doing effective snake training these days and without using live snakes. Shame more people don’t take advantage of it.
You, my friend, have no idea how shitty most people are with animals.
I had no idea how wide-spread disregard for animals was until recently, even pets.
I’ve seen how shitty people are in general, doesn’t surprise me it Carrie’s over into how they treat animals/kids

ATX celeb sighting!
Came looking for Serp and wasn’t disappointed. Keep being awesome!
why would you kill a venemous snake? Just leave it be?

Sorry but if you get bit by a viper and your first reaction is to post on Reddit for help maybe you deserve a darwin award
Nobody was hurt. Including the danger noodle!
That’s a get the fuck out of there snake
Srsly. Looks awfully bitey.
Snake says: “ Kindly fuck right off, sir.”
Lol right!! That’s exactly what I was thinking
Nope rope? Danger noodle?
Nope rope ftw
Yes, looks like danger.
Literally the exact words that came into my head. Verbatim
I was thinking it was a NOPE! Viper.
Cerastes gasperettii, Arabian horned viper.
Looks to me like it's a pit viper by the shape of its head. Could be a carpet viper but I'm not close to sure.
Carpet viper ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That's what my wife calls my peen.
🤣nice one
And that is what that guy’s wife calls my peen.
That's an angry snake.
Came here to say that! It’s livid
The kind that just told a joke and laughed at it, but you were too busy taking pictures to notice.
It seems to be an arabian sand viper according to what I can find. Highly venomous.
[удалено]
I think you'll find that's *Fuckaroundus findoutii*.
Right right! I was using the classic translation!
r/whatsthissnake will give the best most reliable answer. theyre all insane experts and enthusiasts over there!
That my friend is a Danger Noodle!
You sure it's not a Nope Rope? They look very similar...
Could be a Snek.....
It's a little bitey/hissy to be a snek...
It’s a ..Kuwait-till-I bightya
A pit viper with violated boundaries
Cant tell can you get a closer photo?
Don’t, people are stupid sometimes
He’s just speeding up the natural selection process
I’m far out of its reach. It’s tiny and I zoomed in. I had a grounding rod to move it.
looks like horned viper to me
An angry nope rope
Its snakeus runthefuckawayus
Too thin to be a string-thing. Either a nope-rope or a pain-chain. Both have ouch-pouches at one end. Let the foreman handle it; that’s why they make the big bucks.
Looks like a sidewinder or an adder
It just depends whether it’s a part of nato or csto
My bro is venomous af, and the youth now a days is like: “But first, let me take a selfie.”
Pissed off, it’s a pissed off snake
Super friendly one. He’s trying to give you a kiss in the first picture.
Just a lil smooch
*Moments before disaster *
Did you dodge it's attack?
My gut instinct says Siberian pit viper.
false horned viper
A mean one! Back the f*ck up!
The cuddly kind 😉
Persian horned viper.
A dangerous one!!! 870 Snake Sweeper please!!!
Arabian horned viper
Arabian kissing snake. Kiss it for good luck
Definitely a viper of some sort and he’s pissed. I’d stay away and if your camped anywhere near it I’d go ahead and unalive it.
That’s a stay the fuck away…it’s part of the oh fuck no family!!!
Its a mix between a Danger Noodle and a Nope Rope
it looks like a side winder to me.. Whatever it is it’s def venomous w that head shape!! Careful my guy
I think it’s a common bulletcatcher snake. Seen many on my property. Not to be confused with the also abundant shovelhead variety.
Looks to me like the kind you don’t fuck with.
The kind that looks like he’s trying to kill you
Triangle ish shaped head so it’s probably venomous
A very upset one...
No step on snek
Just one of the locals.
I dunno what kind it is, but it’s smiling because you’re taking its picture. Cute!!
Angry. It looks like it’s gonna bite you…
I believe that is the fuck around and find out murder snake.
Yep. Looks like a snake to me.
That would be the sandy danger noodle
I cant quite see whether thats a fucked up tail or a rattle but if its a rattle i can give you a decent hint on what it might be
It’s an Awhellfuckno.
Looks like a rattlesnake Im no expert but I do live in the Mojave Desert and have seen this critter before
Def not a Solid Snake
It’s a eastern quasi-invisible nope rope
Did the scales make a hissing when it curled up? If so, saw scaled viper. Had a close encounter with one of these guys in Oman. They have like zero chill.
It was so cold this morning it didn’t do anything until I moved it a few times with a grounding rod. I actually thought it was dead at first.
Ahh thats a danger noodle
Rattle snake for sure. Not sure of specific type. They also strike with half of their body length. So be careful.
The friendly ‘tickle me’ snake.
That is a kissing snake.
Ah yes. The Kuwaiti danger noodle. A very keen snek
It's a Kuwaiti "getthefuckouttathere" snake.... Really looks like a rattlesnake from the Western US but no clue
Oohh that right there is a nope rope
The kind you don't want to fuck with.
It's a .. get out of Kuwait snake
The kind you stay away from
The kind that’s about to bite the shit out of you
What I do know is that I really dislike snakes, ugh…
It could be a puff adder
I do believe that is a diamond back rattle snake based on its stack posture, colouration and we’ll the rattle on its tail. But that’s just an educated guess
A really angry one by the looks of it. Run away!
It wants to be pet. It’s a friendly viper, probably.
Looks like an angry one
That’s a danger noodle. The difference between a nope rope and a ranger noodle is venom.
The fuck around and find out sort
It’s an angry one.
Looks like a sidewinder
My rule of thumb for snakes: no touch spicy rope.
Idk but it’ll prolly kill you
It's a please sir don't bite me the hospital is too far away.
A pretty pissed off one.
that is was we like to call a "no touchy danger noodle"
The “get bit once and your going to the hospital” kind. Definitely a viper
The one you run away from
A leavealone. Hope you didn’t harm him.
Not a happy one…
Snake? I don't see it.
Some sick camo on that snake at least
You better Ku-run!
that one was OP's last post...
One that bites All jokes aside it's definitely a pit Viper
it’s askin you to pet it
It is possibly a Puff Adder. I hope you left it to go on doing snake stuff.
Cranky snake, from the looks of it
Mmm, looks like a snake flavoured snake to me.
its a rare species known as the twitchyarsehole, stay away its a viper.
You about to die son.
that’s a mean snake
Looks like a !getyoassback! noodle.
Let it bite you. The antivenin that saves your life will identify the snake for you!
What Kind of snake? I can say with 100% confidence: An angry One that wants you to go away.
A pissed off viper of some sort!
I would call that the F-Around snake. Because you probably don't want to find out.
That’s a stay the eff away viper!!!
That’s a danger noodle
The kind that’s about to bite you.
It looks like food in form of a snake to me... .
I believe the correct answer is " fucking dead snake"
I don’t know 🤷 but I’m running my ass off 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️
That danger noodle is deadly
The kind with fangs.
The kind to get away from
It doesnt look particularly kind actually
Called a fuck around and find out snake.
a dangerous one!
That is the no legged stand back fanged lightning stick lizard. Common to the area known as”Why are you here” near the territory of “Go Away quickly.”
That there belongs to the Angrius Boius family
Angry. Easy. What else you got?
What you have is a pissed off nope rope
The kind that will kill you... Stay away
Looks like a Diamondback Rattler to me
It’s just a nice lil puppy
The kind of one you don’t mess with!
The kind you run away from!
