Its venom has strong haemorrhagic activity, which means it causes bleeding by damaging blood vessels, as is typical of most vipers. No specific antivenom is available for its bites. A polyvalent antiserum, which is made to work against several snake species, is reported to offer some protection.1

Xibaar

Unlike the sand-dwelling Cerastes vipers, it cannot sink into sand vertically.1

It moves by sidewinding, serpentine and rectilinear movement, depending on the situation.1

It can attain a considerable weight for its size, with some specimens exceeding 500 g.1

Its horn-like scales are present even in young snakes.1

Females are usually larger than males.1
