Venomous snakes allegedly dumped near Haskell
Officials at Haskell are asking people to be on the lookout for poisonous snakes. Enlarge video
Haskell Indian Nations University officials are asking people to use caution on the west side of campus and in locations west of the campus, after a biologist spotted a potentially poisonous snake in the area.
“Just use caution, especially with your animals,” said Chuck Haines, Haskell biologist. “Don’t go very close to the woods for right now.”
Kansas University biology students were contacted to help look for the snake, which Haines identified as a non-native species, possibly a South American bushmaster, a venomous viper. The snakes, which can be up to eight feet in length, are the largest of South American vipers, said William Duellman, KU Natural History Museum Herpetology Division curator. “It’s the big guy,” he said.
Haines said he removed two smaller venomous snakes from the wooded area west of the school on Wednesday and received an anonymous tip that the snakes had been dumped there. Caution signs have been posted throughout Haskell’s campus warning people to be careful.
David McLeod, a KU biology doctoral student, said it’s unlikely the snake will be located because the wooded area is so large. He said non-native snakes should never be released into the wild, as they can “wreak havoc on the natural system.”
A representative of South Junior High School said the school, west of Haskell, and neighboring Broken Arrow School had been apprised of the situation.

Instead of posting a sign, why don't they just take a ho or a rake, or a rifle to it? That would solve the problem. It's what most people do when thy find a snake in their yard.

A picture of the possible snake species would also be a big help!

Nice non-factual reporting and paranoia stirring.
If it is indeed an african viper (adder) then it is indeed poisonous (actually the term is venomous and it presents toxicity to humans when bitten). Depending on species, viper venom is typically more toxic than the usual venomous snakes we have around here.
These are not indiginous so somebody had to let them loose or they escaped from their cages. What is Haskell doing over there.
I wouldn't call on KU biology students but would prefer the experts in KU Natural History Museum.
Also, what were the two snakes removed on Wednesday? Surely a biology professor with access to experts up the road should be able to ID them by now?
Herpetologist (anonymous) says…
The snake in question has not yet been identified, but the eyewitness report suggests it may be a South American viper in the genus Lachesis. Snakes in the genus Lachesis have excellent camouflage and it would be easy to walk past one of these animals without seeing it. Such a snake should be considered dangerous, and the public should not approach large snakes in the area around Haskell Indian Nations University.
Releasing captive animals and introducing non-native species is unethical and typically illegal. Releasing large venomous snakes in areas like Haskell with large numbers of pedestrians and joggers is extremely reckless.

I vote we take a large number of bulldozers to clean out all the vegetation in the area to look for the snake. Then we will have a good start on the SLT.

If you see a large snake, don't play with it! NSS!
I want to see one to take a picture and have it posted.
I like snakes myself, think they are fascinating creatures.
Know why they were considered special by some peoples?Because they coil in a circle which is the symbol for eternity and because they shed their skins and are renewed.
Cool, eh?
Where do people get poisonous snakes to dump them?

Autie,
Would this be that the famous world "trade route" leading into Herrington, Kansas?
Herpetologist (anonymous) says…
The article is incorrect in two places. The snake has not as yet been identified, though the eyewitness' determination is probably correct. If the snake is in the genus Lachesis, it is from South America or Central America, and the phrase 'South African' in the article is an error. If you are curious, a quick Internet search of "Lachesis snake" returns quite a few images.
The market for venoumous reptiles as pets is extensive, and animals such as this one are easily purchased on-line. The wisdom of keeping these as pets is dubious at best, and releasing them, especially into residential areas, is extremely reckless.

This is obviously a newly evolved and exceptionally dangerous species. I call it Bypassicuss interuptus. It is deadly in that it bastardizes all processes while remaining virtually harmless. Its common name is the Taliban viper, though some call it the Apple regifter.
Beware! I spews red herrings which could replace the native mosquito fish.

Someone may be lucky that this outfit is located over in east KC MO. They stock exotic snake antivenom I believe, though their website makes no mention of it. I have several of their tongs & hooks which I use for snake rescue from roadways. The count this spring so far includes 2 timber rattlers and a juvenile copperhead. The collapsible 40" gentle giant tong is great: folds up and goes under the seat of the truck for quick deployment and they are very easy on the snake. Not going looking for a bushmaster though as Tongs doesn't make a 120" tong!

Marion: You should understand that MD is one of the few people I know who defends you, in person.
You should be ashamed. When you spit in her eye, you should be ashamed.
But it does not surprise me.
You are a bully, an idiot, and a fraud . You have no intellectual grounding. You are more like Cool--Spiderman than I realized.
You try to "get on top" of any sexy story line and profess your knowledge of the subject matter. Your actual knowledge of these issues is a big failure.
Although I throw the following topic in the mix on a regular basis, it is not because I am an ideologue. It is just because I know enough about the underlying facts that I know you are a terrible fraud and a fake, albeit a "kind" one.
Yes. The Holocaust. Your sycophant worship of David Irving. Your postings on this board which strain credulity of all sorts. When you say "you don't deny the holocaust." Well, who doesn't...yet you post information straight from the denialists mouths. And then you beg that any post I make about this be "deleted" from the forum.

If this was someone's pet and they just set it free in the woods, hopefully it was neutered and de-fanged. But why would they keep a loaded snake, sort-of-speak, in their house, if it's bite could kill them.

Marion: “Pythons and venoumous snakes can hibernate through Kansas winters, so this is not a joke….” hmmm?
Marion, you complained last night about not having rational discourse? OK. Your argument is half right and half wrong. You take the shotgun view of your comment. I would not argue the potential for certain species to survive in Kansas. depending on where they came from. But..but...pythons, even though they are thriving in south Florida, would not survive the Kansas winter. They are all tropical and would not fair well at all when it is ten degrees outside. However, as average temperatures have been rising, however slight, at a fairly constant rate, different species have expanded their ranges north and this potential yet exists. I never saw a dead armadillo on the road in Kansas until 1983. Now they are everywhere. Eurasian collared doves are another example. So go find us the temperature tolerances of Burmese pythons and educate me, as I could be wrong.

The fire spreads rapidly to the west laying waste, first to the commercial wasteland along Iowa and then soon to the west Lawrence suburbs. In the destruction that follows there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but little note of the sudden ease of traffic flow along 23rd street. Somewhere the gods snicker.

Now, back to the subject - I am glad South Junior High track is over, as the kids used to run a course behind the school on Haskell grounds. Hate to think of a kid stepping on a snake. LHS was using South for track, too, but it's almost over. Just hope the high school was notified about the snake since they practice at South.
rodentgirl16 (anonymous) says…
I understand the concern, I really do, but come on, this is one snake. At any given time, a kid would have a much better chance of stepping on a copperhead or a rattlesnake that inhabits the area. The real concerns are one, who was stupid enough to raise these snakes, and two, who was even more stupid by dumping them? Not an individual I want around town.

"RoeDapple, is your kid attending South Junior? If not - shut up, pls."
No vega, my "children" are adults now, although I am and always will be concerned for their safety and well being. My point being, of all the hazards we all face every day, I think I'll watch for planes falling on me out of the sky as I see that as more likely than myself or anybody else in Douglas county getting bitten by a South American Bushmaster. A more real concern would be dangerous animals that are much more common to the area. Rattlesnakes, copperheads, rabid skunks, opossum, coyote. Bobcat, black widow and brown recluse spiders. Even cougar have been spotted by myself and others. Your child faces more danger in his/her school building, your home and all points in between on a daily basis that are somehow accepted as normal by us all. Obsessing over one snake, no matter how dangerous, which would probably prefer to be as far from human contact as possible is counter-productive. Be aware but not paranoid, or the last thing you suspect will be the first thing to get you.
autie (anonymous) says…
point well taken, RoeDapple. I would imagine said alleged snake would be looking for a nice quite place out of the way. Not in the nice mowed grass or lurking on a track...maybe tucked away in some secure place, like under a rock. Until dinner time anyway. Snakes ain't dumb, people are.
autie (anonymous) says…
and then when? They just be being snakes, and you just being Tom? It worked out OK, right? Did you manage to live in harmony with nature, or did you kill the snakes? Almost makes you sound like a conservative Republican. Believe it or not, Pelosi and Reid did not sent those snakes to your house. You moved into their house. Bourbon up? I'll take a scotch.
RoeDapple (anonymous) says…
Killed a 10" rattler several years ago my wife spotted in the driveway. She was very relieved until I told her it was very, very young and couldn't have traveled far from where it was born.(Rattlesnakes are live born) And that there are usually 12 to 18 born at a time..........

Serpent handling is not normally part of Native American religions. Serpent handlers generally are Christians. So I'd say probably has nothing to do with the SLT but more with an irresponsible pet owner.

First: Snakes are venomous not poisonous. Venom is injected, e.g. via fangs, and poison is ingested.
Second: I think the claim that a Bushmaster was released is total BS. I look at snakes for purchase online everyday and know many breeders nationwide. I have never seen a Bushmaster for sale. It is possible but very unlikely. It is more likely that a Biologist had a specimen escape or that it was a similar representative from the Lachesis family.
Here is a link to the venomous reptiles ads from the largest reptile classified ads online,
http://market.kingsnake.com/index.php... .
Anyone see a Bushmaster? No! You could buy a King Cobra though for about $500!
I think it is irresponsible to keep hots unless they are for research or milking. "De-fanging" is a reprehensible and unreliable process. Animals that have had their fangs and Duvernoy's (venom) glands removed are known as "venomoids". It would be the equivalent of buying a dog that has had all it's teeth removed. Just cruel!

ok this story is ridiculous... first off, there is no bushmaster on the loose!!
if that photo is a bushmaster, it looks exactly like the rattlesnakes we get around here and this "biologist" did not collect a single bit of tangible information from this snake. He saw it, freaked out, and left to return and find it gone.
so as far as I am concerned, my speculation that he is wrong is just as valid as his speculation that it is a Bushmaster.
and why were the other two "venomous snakes" not identified? were they locals who wandered onto campus or were they bushmasters as well?
give me a break.
i have a black mamba in my backyard. i can't find it though. can you guys help? oooh no, i don't have a photo or body or ummm anything.... man, you guys wanna come up anyway?
