Fea's viper is a venomous snake that lives in the mountains of Southeast Asia. It is special because scientists once thought it was one of the most primitive vipers, but later studies showed it is more closely related to the pit vipers. It can also be found on roadsides, in rice fields and around homes.1

Asië

Tuis

It lives in mountain areas up to 1000 m, where it prefers cooler climates. It is sometimes found on roadsides, in straw and grass, in rice fields, and in and around homes. In Vietnam it favours forests of bamboo and tree ferns, with rotting leaf litter, rock outcrops and streams.1

Wat eet dit?

It apparently feeds on small mammals, such as shrews and newborn mice. In captivity it fed only at night, and prey was often not released after being struck.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its venom is remarkably similar to that of Wagler's viper. Its venom does not cause blood clotting, bleeding or muscle breakdown, according to the studies described. One toxin, azemiopsin, blocks nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in muscles, which interferes with signals that tell muscles to move.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: Ernstig'n Byt moet deur 'n dokter gesien word. Sterftes is baie skaars.

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When disturbed, it flattens its body to look wider, flares its jaws so the head looks triangular, sometimes vibrates its tail, and then may strike.1

As dit byt

Hou die persoon stil en kalm, hou die gebyte arm of been op hartvlak, haal ringe en stywe goed af, en kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Its fangs are hollow and rotate, but they are short. It also has a blade-like structure on the underside of the fang, which is seen only in a few other snake groups.1

It has large head shields like colubrids and elapids, instead of the many small scales found on most vipers.1

It hibernates during the winter, which is unusual for most vipers.1

It is thought to be crepuscular, which means it is most active at dusk and dawn, and it is active from early March into late November.1

Mite-breker

Mite: It is one of the most primitive vipers.

Waarheid: It was once thought to be among the most primitive vipers, but molecular studies show it is the sister group to the pit vipers, Crotalinae.1
