The cottonmouth is a large, venomous pit viper that lives in the southeastern United States. It is one of the few vipers in the world that spends much of its life in water. Its bite is painful and can be fatal, so it is important to recognise it and give it plenty of space.1

Uni qanday tanish mumkin

  • Adults commonly exceed 80 cm in total length, and it is the largest species in its genus.1
  • Most adults are almost or totally black, with the head and facial markings as the main exceptions.1
  • Younger snakes have dark crossbands on a lighter tan, brown or reddish-brown ground colour. The tail tip is yellowish in juveniles and black in adults.1
  • Eastern populations have a broad, dark stripe running back from the eye along the side of the head.1
  • When threatened it gapes, showing the white lining of its mouth.1

Koʻpincha adashtiriladi: The copperhead is often confused with the cottonmouth, especially when young. The cottonmouth has a broad dark stripe on the side of the head, while the copperhead has only a thin dark line. Watersnakes of the genus Nerodia look similar, with thick bodies and large heads, but they have round pupils and no loreal pit.1

Zahar quvvati

Chaqadi

Chaqqanda zahar zaharli tishlari yoki tishlari orqali chiqadi.

Uning zahari (chaqsa yoki nish ursa) nima qiladi?

The venom is rich in cytotoxic components that destroy tissue, and it is more toxic than the copperhead's venom. It does not contain the neurotoxic components found in many rattlesnakes, so it does not usually cause whole-body reactions. Symptoms commonly include bruising and swelling, and necrosis, or death of tissue, can occur.1

Odamlar uchun qanchalik xavfli?

Odamlar uchun xavf: JiddiyChaqqanda shifokor kerak. Oʻlim holatlari juda kam.

Deaths are rare, but bites are relatively frequent in the lower Mississippi River Valley and along the Gulf of Mexico coast. A bite can leave scars and, on occasion, may require amputation. The pain is generally more severe than a copperhead bite but less than a rattlesnake bite. Stressed snakes, and larger snakes, are more likely to strike.1

Yaxshi xabar: shifokorlarda buning uchun dori (zaharga qarshi zardob) yoki davolash usuli bor.1

Qoʻrqqanda nima qiladi?

When threatened it may coil its body, display its fangs and gape to show the white lining of its mouth. It often stands its ground rather than fleeing.1

  • Bites can be effectively treated with CroFab antivenom.1
  • Odamni qimirlamay va xotirjam tut, chaqilgan qoʻl yoki oyoqni yurak balandligida ushla, uzuk va siquvchi narsalarni yechib ol va tezda kasalxonaga olib bor.
