Stiletto Snake (Atractaspis Bibronii)
The Stiletto is a small, burrowing snake that is very toxic. Luckily, these
snakes do not inject much venom. However, their venom is still extremely
toxic. It can cause damage to the arteries of the heart, as well as local tissue
damage. It is said to be nearly impossible to safely handle one of these
snakes! The Stiletto Snake is one of the only venomous snakes in our list that
is not from the Colubridae, Viperidae or Elapidae family. These snakes are
called Stiletto, or Side-Stabbing snakes, due to their large fangs which come
out the side of their mouth. These snakes cannot strike forward due to their
unique fangs.

Buffalo Creek Area is open year round from 6am to 10:30pm. The park is open to
walk-in access only October 1st - April 14th.
Not your typical Nascar Joe series. No crazy puzzles, no elaborate Geoart, and
all practically park and grabs. Well two out of three ain't bad.
When I was out placing these caches I saw some pretty strange things so be
careful out there.
