Based on its size, it is probably capable of a fatal bite. It is not known to be common anywhere. One bite victim was treated in Medellín for acute renal failure, which means sudden kidney failure.1

Local experts rank it as one of the most dangerous snakes in the regions where it lives, alongside the common lancehead (Bothrops atrox). Its size means a bite may be fatal.1
