Nonvenomous

Heterodon nasicus is not nonvenomous. It has a venom, which is of no significance for most people. But there have been clinically relevant accidents. --2A02:2455:7E2:DC00:5C43:B2E9:EDD3:78A1 (talk) 13:21, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As per sources, it is not considered a snake venom because it is not produced by proper venom glands, but rather is a mildly irritating saliva. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:16, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Northern range limit in Canada

Southwestern Manitoba must be correct. Although Behler and King (1979) mention northwestern Manitoba as being part of the northern limit of the range of this species, this does seem a bit too cold for them. And indeed, a range map for the species included in the same book shows southwestern Manitoba. Wright and Wright (1957) also mention southwestern Manitoba as being at the northern limit of their range. --Jwinius (talk) 12:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
