Many-banded krait
The many-banded krait is an extremely venomous snake found in central and southern China and much of Southeast Asia. It is black or bluish-black with many white bands across its body. It matters because its bite can be fatal, and it is one of the most venomous land snakes in the world.1

Maziviro ayo

Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves and the connections between nerves and muscles. Local effects are usually mild, with slight itching and numbness rather than serious swelling or pain. Symptoms usually start one to six hours after a bite and can include drooping eyelids, double vision, weakness, tongue paralysis, loss of voice and difficulty breathing.1

In a serious bite, breathing can stop and lead to death. In 2001, a juvenile bit the herpetologist Joe Slowinski in Myanmar and he died 29 hours later.1

It is generally timid and placid, but it is more defensive at night and thrashes about when handled.1

Chokwadi
Its venom is among the most potent of any land snake, based on lab tests on mice dating back to 1943.1
In 2001, a juvenile bite in Myanmar killed Joe Slowinski, which drew worldwide attention to the species.1
The snake that bit Slowinski was first thought to be this species, but it was later classified as a different species.1
It is active from April and retreats into hibernation in November.1
Kuputsa ngano
Ngano: American soldiers in the Vietnam War called it the "two-step snake", believing its venom could kill a person within two steps.
Chokwadi: Its symptoms usually start one to six hours after a bite, and death can take much longer. The two-step belief is wrong, and a bite still needs urgent medical care.1
