The lowland swamp viper is a small, venomous snake from East Africa. It lives in low, wet ground such as marshes and floodplains, where it hunts small frogs and toads. Its venom is strongly hemotoxic, meaning it damages the blood, so it is a snake to treat with respect.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera

  • Small snake, averaging 40 to 50 cm in total length, with a maximum of 61 cm.1
  • Females are slightly larger than males.1
  • The head is somewhat elongated, with small scales on top except for a pair of large supraocular scales (the scales above the eyes), which are almost twice as long as they are wide.1
  • Young snakes and subadults have a partly prehensile tail (one that can grip), but this ability is reduced in adults.1

Obusagwa buyita mu mannyo gaakyo amawanvu (fangs) oba mu mannyo amalala nga kiruma.

Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?

It is venomous, and its venom is hemotoxic, meaning it attacks the blood. In the earliest recorded survivor case, a 20 cm juvenile bit a 24-year-old through a single fang; the bite was painful but did not cause the strongly hemotoxic symptoms seen with related snakes. In a second case in 1996, the victim had severe haemolysis (red blood cells breaking down) and complete platelet destruction, and the liver and kidneys began to fail.1

Only two bites are documented. The 1996 victim nearly died from hemolytic-uremic syndrome, a condition where the blood and kidneys are damaged, but survived. The venom is very hemotoxic.1

Bwe kiruma

  • Get to a hospital fast. The one serious recorded case was treated in hospital with plasmapheresis, a procedure that filters the blood, and the patient survived.1
  • Omuntu muleke ateetambula era ateefu, ekitundu ekirumiddwa kibeere ku buwanvu bw'omutima, ggyamu empeta n'ebintu ebinyweza, era omutwale mu ddwaliro mangu.

Ebituufu

1

Its venom is far more damaging to the blood than the venom of the earlier snakes it was grouped with, so it is now known to be very hemotoxic.1

2

Young snakes can grip with their tails, a skill that becomes weaker as they grow into adults.1

3

Its habitat overlaps with cattle grazing land, which is one reason people may meet it.1
