It is a medically important species because it has caused many bites. The mortality rate is not known, but it is said to be quite high. It is an active, nocturnal snake, so people may be bitten at night.1

When disturbed, it coils loosely and hides its head beneath its body, and it is reluctant to bite unless it is persistently provoked.1
