Fea's viper
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

Com reconèixer-lo

- The head is orange to slightly yellow, with a cross-pattern outlined in grey.1
- The eyes are yellowish with vertical pupils.1
- The scales are smooth, not keeled, and arranged in 17 rows at midbody.1
- Adults are no longer than about 77 cm.1
Poder del verí
El verí surt pels ullals o les dents quan mossega.
Què fa el seu verí?
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
Com de perillós és per a les persones?

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
Si mossega
- Mantén la persona quieta i tranquil·la, mantén l'extremitat mossegada a l'altura del cor, treu-li anells i coses que estrenyin i porta-la de pressa a un hospital.
Truca sempre primer al número d'emergències (112, 000, 911). Això són pautes generals de primers auxilis, no consells mèdics. Primers auxilis bàsics
Estigues segur
- No toquis, atrapis ni molestis mai un animal salvatge, encara que sigui petit i encara que sembli adormit o mort.
- Deixa-li espai. Si en trobes un, mantén la calma, recula a poc a poc i deixa que segueixi el seu camí.
- Si te'n mossega un: mantén la calma, no et moguis, truca al número d'emergències (112, 000, 911) o ves de pressa a un hospital. Recorda com era, una foto ajuda.

Dades
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
Desmuntamites
Mite: It is one of the most primitive vipers.
Veritat: 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
