It is mildly venomous. Its rear fangs, which sit towards the back of the mouth, make it less likely to inject venom, and the venom is of low toxicity. Venom can still be injected by bites from large individuals.1

The Montpellier snake is not dangerous to humans. Only a few cases of envenomation of people are known, and one of these happened when a finger was put into the snake's mouth. The venom is not very dangerous.1

Sch'el morda

  • Symptomatic treatment, which means treating the symptoms as they appear, is enough to deal with an envenomation.1
  • Lava la morsa, tegna la persuna quieta e tschertga agid medicinal. Tschertas spezias (sco il boomslang) pon esser mortalas pir uras pli tard.

Clama adina l'emprim tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911). Quai è in cussegl general d'emprim agid, betg in cussegl medicinal. Basa da l'emprim agid

Resta en segirezza

  • Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
  • Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.
  • Sch'in tal animal ta morda: resta calm, na ta mova betg, clama tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911) u va spert en in ospital. Ta regorda co ch'el veseva or, ina foto gida.

El n'ha betg quai sin tai. El dovra ses tissi per pigliar nutriment u per sa defender, e sa zuppa bler pli gugent. Dapli davart la segirezza
