The cantil is a highly venomous pit viper, a type of snake that senses heat with pits on its face. It lives in Mexico and Central America, reaching south as far as Honduras. Its bite can be very dangerous, which is why it is so well known in the region.1

Juveniles eat frogs and lizards, while adults mainly eat small mammals and lizards in the genus Ctenosaura. Juveniles use their brightly coloured tail tip to lure prey.1

Tsela ya go e lemoga

Heavy-bodied, with a broad, triangular head and small eyes with vertical pupils.1
Usually brown or black, with darker brown or black banding, sometimes with white or cream accents.1
Yellow and/or white lines on the head, including a broader line on the upper lip.1
Juveniles are almost always distinctly banded, with bright green or yellow tail tips.1
Adults are often more faded, with their pattern and colour darkening as they age.1

Gantsi e tlhakanngwa le: It shares its general body structure with the copperhead and is in the same genus as the cottonmouth, so it is closely related to both.1

Botlhole jo e bo tsenyang bo dira eng?

Bites can cause local pain, swelling and discolouration, but bites from adults can cause massive swelling and necrosis, which is the death of body tissue. Symptoms reported in Honduras include severe pain, bleeding from the fang punctures, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood in the urine, shock and kidney failure. Some bites were fatal within only a few hours.1

The cantil is feared throughout its range, and in Sonora, Mexico, it is feared more than any other reptile. In Nicaragua, it is considered the country's most dangerous snake. One researcher suggested that amputation may be needed in about one in six cases because of necrosis. It is generally shy, and its reputation for aggression is probably not well deserved.1

E dira eng fa e tshogile?

It first relies on camouflage. If that fails, it coils tightly, raises the end of its tail and vibrates it to make a loud whipping sound, and may strike or gape, but only when it has no other choice.1

Fa e loma

A polyvalent antivenom, made by the Instituto Clodomiro Picado in Costa Rica, is used to treat bites from this species.1

Dintlha

Juveniles lure prey by waving their brightly coloured tail tips, which are bright green or yellow.1

Cantils are often captive-bred and are common in the exotic pet trade, although export from Mexico is not permitted.1

Cantils are well represented in zoos across North America and Europe.1

Mosenyi wa ditlhamane

Tlhamane: The cantil has a reputation for having a nasty disposition and being extremely aggressive.

Nnete: This reputation is probably not well deserved. The cantil is generally shy and relies on camouflage first, and it only displays or strikes when it has no other choice.1
