Dintlha
The largest venom yield recorded in the laboratory was 65 mg, enough to kill 5 to 6 people.1
Some of its toxins act before the nerve signal reaches the muscle. They make nerves release too much acetylcholine, a chemical messenger, and then block the signal to the muscle.1
Its venom contains many toxin families, including phospholipase A2 and three-finger toxins.1
Adult females can lay up to 15 eggs.1
