Sinister snakebites

A particular person might be referred to as cold blooded, but ectothermic species truly embody the term. Spring and summer mean leaping lizards, frolicking fish and slithering snakes as warmer environments boost an ectotherm’s energy and activity. Just when many people are excitedly outdoors for sun and fun, so are snakes. Increased human–snake encounters may mean more snakebites.
