The asp viper is a venomous snake of south-western Europe. It lives in warm, sunny places with dry soil, often in hills and rocky areas. Its bite can be more severe than that of the European adder, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • Average total length is 60–65 cm. Males can reach 85 cm, while females are rarely longer than 75 cm.1
  • The head is broad and triangular, and it is clearly separate from the neck.1
  • The tip of the snout is slightly but distinctly turned up.1
  • The tail is very short, and males are a little slimmer than females.1
  • The pattern on the back varies a lot. It rarely forms a clear zigzag, unlike the European adder.1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: The European adder (Vipera berus) is a close relative. The asp's back pattern rarely forms a clear zigzag, as the adder's often does. Bites from the asp can be more severe than those from the adder.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its venom causes rapidly spreading, severe pain, followed by swelling and skin discolouration. Severe bleeding and tissue death can happen within a few hours. Vision may be badly affected, and in some cases victims developed breathing and swallowing difficulties and paralysis of the bitten limb.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkulunywa kufuna ugqirha. Ukufa kunqabe kakhulu.

About 4% of untreated bites are fatal. In Italy, this species causes 90% of snakebite cases and is the only snake in Italian mountains that can be potentially lethal. Its bites can be more severe than those of the European adder.1

Ukuba siyaluma

  • Gcina umntu engashukumi kwaye ezolile, gcina ilungu elilunyiweyo kwinqanaba lentliziyo, susa imisesane nezinto eziqinileyo, uze umse esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

  • Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
  • Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Ukuba siyakuluma: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

1

Ancient writers named the snake that supposedly killed Queen Cleopatra as an asp. Experts think a cobra would have been too big, over 5 feet long, to smuggle in a basket.1

2

In the past, the word "asp" was used to mean any venomous snake.1

3

In 2006, a number of these vipers were found in a wooded area near Poortugaal in the Netherlands. The species is not native there, so it was probably released or escaped.1

4

Asp vipers have been found at over 2,100 m above sea level in the Pyrenees, even though they are not strongly linked to high altitudes.1

5

The venom yield is relatively low. One study recorded a daily extraction of 9–10 mg.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Queen Cleopatra was killed by a cobra.

Inyaniso: Ancient sources named the snake an asp. Experts think a cobra would have been too big to smuggle in a basket.1
