This rattlesnake species has a very restricted global range; it is found only in the southern part of the state of California, USA, and along the Baja California peninsula in northern Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>The red diamond rattlesnake can be easily identified by its reddish colour, distinct white-bordered diamond pattern on its back, and black and white stripes at the end of its tail. This snake primarily eats mammals of varying species and sizes, but has also been known to hunt lizards and birds. It is thought to be preyed upon by roadrunners, kingsnakes, and owls.<\/p>\n<p>In California, red diamond rattlesnakes are threatened by human encroachment and habitat destruction, and they are therefore considered a species of special concern. This designation provides <em>C. ruber<\/em> with a certain level of legal protection when developers propose new buildings and homes within its habitat. In spite of this protection, rapid development in and adjacent to traditional <em>C. ruber <\/em>habitats in California has increased the amount of human-snake encounters, particularly in Loma Linda.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lg1er03d-e35d0d4b18756a642b97482767009675\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lg1er03d-e35d0d4b18756a642b97482767009675 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lg1er03d-e35d0d4b18756a642b97482767009675 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lg1er03d-e35d0d4b18756a642b97482767009675 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img class='wp-image-41479 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-41479 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Loma-linda.png' alt='' title='Loma linda'  height=\"720\" width=\"1280\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljq00hbk-30af5d2592ef5a0e7e00d2916acd79eb'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Loma Linda University Health Medical Centre in Loma Linda, California.

These snakes will sometimes travel into bordering residential areas in search of food or shelter; even where 50 to 150m wide ploughed firebreaks have been created between houses and natural habitat, which are essentially unsuitable areas for snakes.<\/p>\n<p>The practice of capturing and moving a \u201cnuisance\u201d animal away from an area of potential conflict with people is called a \u201cmitigation translocation\u201d. Translocation is a better alternative to killing snakes found in residential areas, especially given the conservation concern for this species.<\/p>\n<p>Translocated snakes, however, often experience unnaturally high rates of erratic behaviour and mortality soon after release, which tends to increase with the distance translocated. But, if snakes aren\u2019t translocated far enough, they may return to the site of conflict and continue to pose a risk for snakebite.

Thirty adult snakes were translocated: one third were moved a long distance (716 to 6000 m) and two thirds were moved a short distance (less than 716 m). Each snake was implanted with a radio transmitter in order to track its movement during the study.<\/p>\n<p>Snakes subjected to a long-distance translocation (LDT) had an effective home range up to 4.6 times larger than those subjected to a short-distance translocation (SDT), and travelled nearly twice as much per day than SDT snakes. However, one year after translocation there was no significant difference between the two groups of snakes, indicating that it took around one year before LDT snakes established normal home ranges in their new territories.<\/p>\n<p>Relocated individuals demonstrated remarkable homing behavior, often returning to their original capture sites despite being released up to hundreds of metres away. However, LDT snakes were less likely to return to human-dominated areas, and the rate of return to capture sites decreased as the translocation distance increased.<\/p>\n<p>There was no significant difference found in mortality between LDT and SDT snakes in this study, however, this result is not universal for all snake translocations. A similar study conducted in Perth, Australia (see <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/blog\/urban-vipers-6-dugites-in-perth-australia\/\"><em>Urban Vipers 6: Dugites in Perth Australia<\/em><\/a><em>) <\/em>found that LDT snakes had a mortality rate of 100%, while SDT individuals had a mortality rate of only 50%. Also, snakes living in colder climates develop strong ties to their overwintering sites, and if moved too far, their ability to survive the winter will be compromised. This discrepancy in snake survival highlights the need for species-specific (and possibly even population-specific) research before conducting large-scale mitigation translocations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-4zopbvv-ffd0dde182997a52bd140edec0e47ef4 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-49eaoob-fda654a62798323605504c27a6937147'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h5><strong><span style=\"color: #50863d;\">HOW CAN LOMA LINDA RESIDENTS COEXIST WITH RED DIAMOND RATTLESNAKES?<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-40y01e3-92973d67708402997038be7e7fd77cb5'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>With ever-growing development into wild spaces, and with people living so close to snake habitat, humans and rattlesnakes will continue to interact in Loma Linda.
