The eyelash viper is a small, tree-living pitviper that lives mainly in the highlands of Colombia. It is named after the eyelash-like scales above its eyes. Its venom can cause serious harm, so it is important to recognise it and keep well away.1

Kaj je?

It eats small tree-dwelling animals, including rodents, bats, frogs, hummingbirds, lizards and occasionally fish. It waits in ambush for prey to pass by, and young snakes sometimes wriggle their tail like a worm to lure frogs or lizards within striking range.1

Its venom contains several components that damage tissue, cause swelling and disturb blood clotting. A bite typically causes pain, swelling and bruising at the bite site, and sometimes blisters or local tissue death. Some reports describe rapid local tissue damage followed by clotting problems and acute kidney failure.1

The snake is not known to be aggressive towards people and tends to avoid creatures larger than itself, but it will strike if repeatedly harassed. Some studies of venom from northern Colombia reported serious effects, including kidney failure.1

Če ugrizne

Poškodovanca drži pri miru in ga pomirjaj, ugriznjeni ud drži v višini srca, odstrani prstane in tesne stvari ter ga hitro odpelji v bolnišnico.

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

Males perform a courtship ritual called the 'dance of the adders', in which two males rise up in a cobra-like stance and push against each other until one is pushed away or falls.1

Its strike accuracy improves with practice, according to studies of individuals over time.1

Some individuals return to the same ambush sites each year, timing their visits to the spring bird migration.1

Its eyelash-like scales may help it hide by breaking up its outline among the leaves where it rests.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: After a bite, the snake winks its eyelashes at the victim, as some local folktales describe.

Resnica: No snake can do this. Snakes have no true eyelids and cannot close their eyes. Most reptiles have a thin, membrane-like eyelid that acts as a shield, mainly when resting.1
