Please support our efforts to get the Tucson Shovel-nosed Snake listed on the Endangered Species Act. The Tucson Shovel-nosed (Chionactis occipitalis klauberi) is threatened throughout its natural territory and desperately needs federal protection. This wonderful little snake lives in the desert valleys of Arizona feeding upon scorpions, spiders, centipedes, and other small desert fauna. Harmless to humans the TS-nS grows to about 10-17 inches with vibrant bands of black, red, and yellow, along its body. Highly adapted for the northern Sonoran Desert the Tucson Shovel-nosed swims through and lives beneath the surface of the sandy substrate. Please take a moment to join our cause, donate, or contact the USFish & Wildlife Service.
