Botlhole jo e bo tsenyang bo dira eng?

The snake has rear fangs and a venom gland linked to them. It has to chew to release the venom, which is released gradually. Its venom is weak, and the rear fangs are small, so it is hard for the snake to sink them into a person's arm or leg. Moderate bites have caused intense swelling.1
