The green vine snake is a slender, bright green snake that lives high in the trees of Central and northern South America. It hunts small animals from the branches, and it is rear-fanged, which means its venom is delivered from the back of the mouth.1

Kaj je?

It waits high in trees for small animals such as rodents, lizards, frogs and birds. It follows the prey, checks its smell with its tongue, then bites the head or back of the neck and lifts the animal 20–40 cm off the ground.1

Moč strupa

Ugrizi

Strup pride ven skozi strupnike ali zobe, ko ugrizne.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

Its saliva is toxic, and it works quickly on small animals, so they are stopped from fighting back. It has little to no effect on humans. In the rare reported bites, slight tingling or temporary numbness at the bite site has been reported.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BlagaKot čebelji pik ali manj. Za ljudi praktično neškodljiva.

Bites to people are rare, because the snake has to grab hold and chew its saliva into the skin, which most people will not allow. Serious allergic reactions are possible, as with any venomous animal, and most allergies are not known before a bite.1

Če ugrizne

Ugriz umij, poškodovanca pomiri in poišči zdravniško pomoč. Nekatere vrste (na primer bumslang) so lahko smrtno nevarne še čez nekaj ur.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

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.
Če te ugrizne: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

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

Dejstva

Its tongue is thought to work like a cat's whiskers, helping it sense its way through branches and brush as it moves quickly.1

After biting, it coils around its prey. It does not squeeze the prey the way a constrictor does, but the coil helps to hold it.1

It is rear-fanged, with two larger but blunted, peg-like teeth at the upper back of the mouth. These teeth have grooves on the sides that deliver its saliva.1

After swallowing a meal, it usually moves to the highest point of a tree to rest.1

In captivity it readily takes mice, and some are large enough to eat rats, which makes it a prized choice among reptile collectors.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: That the bite of this snake is dangerous to people.

Resnica: Its venom has little to no effect on humans. It is fast-acting on small animals, but bites to people are rare and usually cause only slight tingling or temporary numbness.1
