Tsela ya go e lemoga

  • Adults commonly exceed 130 cm in length, and males grow larger than females.1
  • The body looks rough because the scales have raised keels, most noticeable on the rows along the sides.1
  • The head is blunt, which is one reason for its scientific name.1

Its bites are similar to rattlesnake bites in the United States. Local effects can be severe, with pain, massive swelling, blistering and necrosis (death of tissue), which may need surgery to relieve pressure (fasciotomies) and in some cases amputation. Whole-body effects are rare, including bleeding problems, kidney failure and nerve damage (neurotoxicity). Only the venom of young snakes (neonates) contains crotoxin, a toxin that causes nerve symptoms.1
