The side-striped palm pitviper is a green, tree-dwelling snake that lives in the mountain forests of Costa Rica and western Panama. It is venomous, and its bites can be serious, although deaths are rare. Its green colour helps it blend in among the leaves.1

Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKuumwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.

Bites can be serious, but fatalities are rare.1

Habari njema: madaktari wana dawa (ya kuzuia sumu) au matibabu ya hili.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

It prefers to stay coiled and still, relying on its camouflage, and will strike quickly if touched.1

Akiuma

Mweke mtu bila kutikisika na mtulivu, weka kiungo kilichoumwa usawa wa moyo, ondoa pete na vitu vinavyobana, na umpeleke hospitali haraka.

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 prehensile tail acts as an anchor when resting and helps it grab prey when it strikes.1

Blue specimens are sometimes found in the wild, not only in captivity.1

Juveniles are brown, and it takes about 18–24 months for them to change to adult colours.1

A polyvalent antivenin that covers this species is produced by the Instituto Clodomiro Picado in Costa Rica.1
