The eastern hognose snake is a stout, rear-fanged snake that lives across eastern and central North America. It has an upturned snout, which it uses for digging in sandy soil. It is mildly venomous, but its venom is aimed at toads and frogs and is not deadly to people.1

Otrovna snaga

Ugrizi

Otrov izlazi kroz očnjake ili zube kad ugrize.

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

Its venom is mild and is adapted to amphibian prey. It is delivered through enlarged rear teeth from the Duvernoy's gland. In people who are allergic to the snake's saliva, a bite can cause local swelling, burning, discolouration and bleeding from the wound.1

Koliko je opasno za ljude?

Opasnost za ljude: BlagoKao ubod pčele ili slabije. Uglavnom bezopasno za ljude.

The venom is harmless to most people, and no human deaths have been documented. People who are allergic to its saliva may have local symptoms such as swelling and bleeding.1

Što radi kad se uplaši?

It flattens its neck, raises its head like a cobra, hisses and strikes with a closed mouth to bluff. If that fails, it rolls onto its back, plays dead, releases a foul musk and lets its tongue hang out.1

Ako ugrize

Operi ugriz, smiri osobu i potraži liječničku pomoć. Neke vrste (poput bumslanga) mogu biti smrtonosne satima kasnije.

Ostani na sigurnom

Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
Ako te neka ugrize: ne paniči, miruj, nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911) ili brzo idi u bolnicu. Zapamti kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaže.

Ne želi ti ništa loše. Otrov koristi za lov hrane ili za obranu i mnogo bi se radije sakrilo. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice

One individual was seen playing dead for 45 minutes before moving away.1

It is resistant to the skin poisons of toads, probably because of its enlarged adrenal glands, which release large amounts of hormones to counter the toxins.1

When threatened, it often bluffs by striking with its mouth closed, and it does not try to bite.1

It is a rear-fanged snake, and its enlarged teeth are at the back of the upper jaw.1

Females can store sperm until spring, so they can be fertilised later.1

Razbijač mitova

Mit: The eastern hognose snake is a dangerous, deadly snake.

Istina: It is only mildly venomous, and its venom is aimed at amphibians. No human deaths have been documented, although some people who are allergic to its saliva may have local symptoms.1
