West African carpet viper
KirumaThe West African carpet viper is a small, highly venomous snake that lives in the savanna of West Africa. Its bite is one of the most dangerous of any snake in Africa. It is known for its row of eye-spots and its aggressive, alarm-like behaviour when threatened.1
Engeri y'okukitegeera
- It has bulging eyes and a short snout, typical of vipers in the genus Echis.1
- A distinctive series of eye-spots, called ocelli, runs the length of its body.1
- It is terrestrial, so it lives on the ground rather than in trees.1
- It is mostly active at night and at dusk (nocturnal and crepuscular).1
Kitera okutabulwa ne: Older records from Senegal, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea refer to Echis jogeri, and those from eastern Nigeria, Cameroon and southern Chad refer to Echis romani. These are now recognised as separate species. Echis leucogaster is more common north of the 15th parallel, where this snake is rarely found.1
Amaanyi g'obusagwa
Obusagwa buyita mu mannyo gaakyo amawanvu (fangs) oba mu mannyo amalala nga kiruma.
Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?
Its venom is a mix of procoagulants, anticoagulants, haemorrhagins, nephrotoxins and necrotoxins. Procoagulants make blood clot, while anticoagulants stop it clotting, so bleeding can occur. Nephrotoxins damage the kidneys, and necrotoxins kill tissue around the bite. Local symptoms include pain, swelling, bleeding, tissue death (necrosis) and disfigurement, which may lead to amputation. Whole-body symptoms include coagulopathy (blood clotting problems), haemorrhages, shock, kidney failure and blindness.1
Kirina akabi kenkana wa eri abantu?
Akabi eri abantu: KittaEmu ku nsolo ezisinga akabi mu nsi.The West African carpet viper causes more human deaths from snakebite than all other African snakes combined. The envenoming rate is 80%, and the lethality rate is 10–20%.1
Amawulire amalungi: abasawo balina eddagala (antivenom) oba obujjanjabi ku kino.1
Kikola ki nga kitidde?
When threatened, it forms its body into an S shape and rubs its scales together to make an alert sound.1
Bwe kiruma
- Omuntu muleke ateetambula era ateefu, ekitundu ekirumiddwa kibeere ku buwanvu bw'omutima, ggyamu empeta n'ebintu ebinyweza, era omutwale mu ddwaliro mangu.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'emu ekuluma: beera mukkakkamu, totambula, kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911) oba tuuka mu ddwaliro mangu. Jjukira bwe yali efaanana, ekifaananyi kiyamba.
Tekikunoonya. Kikozesa obusagwa bwakyo okukwata emmere oba okwekuuma, era kyandisinze kwekweka. Ebirala ku kwekuuma

Ebituufu
It makes an alert sound by rubbing its scales together while in an S-shaped posture.1
Hatchlings are already 10–12 cm long, which is a sizeable fraction of an adult's average length.1
Its scientific name, ocellatus, comes from the row of eye-spots, called ocelli, that runs along its body.1
Some individual snakes have been found far from its main range, including in the Central African Republic and central Sudan.1
