The berg adder is a viper that lives only in the mountains of southern Africa. It is found in scattered groups, from South Africa up to Mozambique. Its venom mainly attacks the nerves, which sets it apart from most of its close relatives.1

Hello arano
It prefers cool places with high rainfall. In the north of its range it is found at higher elevations, while in the south it lives in coastal and mountain heathland, rocky hillsides, grassland with bushes, and small rock outcrops at sea level.1

Hono anndirtee ngal

  • Adults are typically 30 to 40 cm long, from head to tail tip.1
  • Some females grow to 50 cm in the wild.1
  • When disturbed, it hisses loudly and twists its body in convulsive movements.1

Ko honɗun tooke mum waɗata (ŋatgol walla jukkugol)?

Its venom is mainly neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves. Necrosis (tissue death) or infection seldom follows a bite. Symptoms can start quickly and have been compared to alcohol intoxication, and they are not usually permanent. Possible signs include loss of smell or taste, drooping eyelids and loss of vision.1

The venom is not strong enough for a single bite to kill an adult human, and no human deaths have been recorded. However, bites can be troublesome, and their effects sometimes last for days or even weeks.1

When disturbed, it hisses violently and twists its body convulsively.1

  • Antivenom does not seem to help people bitten by this snake, so treatment should focus on relieving the symptoms.1

1

Unlike most Bitis species, its venom is mainly neurotoxic, so the bite rarely causes tissue death.1

2

Its scientific name comes from Atropos, the Greek goddess who cut the thread of life.1

3

In the north of its range it lives at elevations of up to 3,000 m, but in eastern Zimbabwe it is not found below 1,500 m.1

4

A newborn is about 13 cm long, which is roughly a third of the length of an adult.1
