The Sri Lankan green pit viper is a venomous snake that lives only on the island of Sri Lanka. It spends much of its time up in trees and low shrubs, where its green colouring helps it blend in. Its bite is dangerous, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Its venom is mainly haemotoxic, meaning it damages blood and tissue. Bite victims feel severe pain and swelling, and blisters can form, with some tissue dying around the wound. The pain can last for a few days. Drooping eyelids (ptosis) and swollen lymph glands can also occur, and in some victims kidney failure and heart rhythm problems have been reported.1

Deaths from this snake have not been reported. Some bite victims do develop serious kidney and heart problems.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

It is not usually defensive, but if disturbed it vibrates its tail tip, forms an S-shaped loop with its front body, and lashes out to bite, seldom hissing first.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.
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
