The Texas lyre snake is a medium-sized, mildly venomous snake that lives in deserts and rocky land in the south-western United States and northern Mexico. It is secretive and hides in rock crevices during the day, so it is often hard to spot.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
