Snake Smarts! 🐍 How to Identify Venomous vs. Nonvenomous Snakes & Their Bites!
🔍 Snake ID: Head Shapes & Bite Clues!
🧠 Head Shape Hints
Venomous Snakes (like Rattlesnakes):
▶️ Often have a triangular or spade-shaped head, wider than the neck – due to venom glands.
⚠️ But beware: Some nonvenomous snakes mimic this shape by flattening their heads!

Nonvenomous Snakes (like Red Racers):
▶️ Usually have a rounded or oval head that blends into the body, without much distinction.

🩸 Bite Mark Breakdown
☠️ Venomous Bites:
Look for 1–2 deep puncture marks (fangs)

Swelling, redness, and severe pain may follow fast
🚑 Seek emergency care immediately!

🐍 Nonvenomous Bites:
Appear as multiple small teeth marks in a U-shape

Less painful but clean thoroughly to prevent infection

✅ Safety Tips to Remember:
Always keep your distance—don’t approach or handle!

Don’t rely solely on head shape or behavior to judge danger

If bitten, stay calm and note the snake’s appearance (from a safe distance!) for medics

The virus is transmitted to people through infected deer ticks -- the same tick that spreads Lyme disease and other diseases.

Take Note! 👇👇👇 Don't Be Stupid!

FRIENDLY REMINDER: As many gear up for the impending heat wave, it's important to watch where you (and your pets) are walking. As air temperatures surge into the 90s, both concrete and asphalt temperatures will catapult to dangerous levels. That can burn your pups paws if you're not careful.

🚨 Beef Producers: Be on the Lookout! 🚨

The Asian Longhorned Tick 🐜 has just been identified in Southeast Iowa — and it poses a serious threat to cattle health.

This invasive tick can transmit Theileria orientalis, a blood parasite that causes Theileriosis, leading to:

🔴 Severe anemia
🔴 Weakness & weight loss
🔴 Abortions
🔴 Death in severe cases

❗ There is currently no approved treatment in the U.S., making prevention your best defense:

✅ Check cattle regularly for ticks
✅ Use effective tick control measures
✅ Rotate pastures and manage tall grasses to reduce tick habitat

Stay informed through your local veterinarian and extension office. Early awareness can protect your herd and your livelihood. 🐂

Skunk Alert - They are out looking for their Valentine 💘
February through early March is skunk breeding season. Before you let your dogs out, make a little noise and give skunks time to move out of your yard.
If you come face to face with a skunk, stay calm and talk softly to let him know you’re there -- skunks have poor eyesight. Skunks are sweet natured animals and don’t want to spray you. Go about your business and avoid startling them.
Skunks will give you several warnings if they are scared:
1. They will stomp their front feet
2. They turn their backs to you
3. They will do a handstand
4. They will spray up to 10 feet away
If a skunk DOES spray, here is a technique and recipe:
First, catch the dog (or the person!) as quickly as possible - don’t let them roll or rub on anything. If you have rubber gloves wear them. BLOT the spray off with paper towels.
Mix a paste from 1 teaspoon Dawn dish soap, 3% hydrogen peroxide and ¼ cup baking soda and spread it on the area. Do not add water! Let it sit for ten minutes then rinse off and repeat.
If this happens to be on a human or hairless animal, leave out the baking soda. The baking soda is sort of like an exfoliant and is really abrasive to bare skin.
Skunks are omnivores (eat both plant and animal material). They prefer to eat insects, particularly grasshoppers, beetles, and crickets. They also eat grubs and other insect larvae as well as bees and wasps. When the opportunity arises, they will take mice, rats, moles, shrews, young ground squirrels and rabbits, nesting birds, nestlings, and bird or snake eggs. Skunks also eat corn, berries, and other vegetation. In an urban environment, they may eat garbage or pet food that has been left outside.
Habitat Modification:
Secure garbage cans and close dumpster lids at night.
Control rodent populations.
Do not leave pet food outdoors at night.
Remove brush or wood piles.
Control lawn grubs.
