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

Hula nini?

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

Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

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

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.

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

Akiuma

Osha jeraha, mweke mtu mtulivu na utafute msaada wa kitabibu. Baadhi ya spishi (kama boomslang) zinaweza kuua saa kadhaa baadaye.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

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

Kuvunja dhana potofu

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

Ukweli: 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
