Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its venom was essentially unknown until recently, so its toxicity and make-up are still poorly understood. It is assumed to cause at least some of the bites reported in the densely populated areas where it lives. The venom can be neutralised by SAIMR antivenom.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Local people regard it as very dangerous. The only well-documented bite involved a herpetologist from Texas in 2009, who was bitten on the finger by a young captive snake and survived.1

Iindaba ezimnandi: oogqirha banamayeza (i-antivenom) okanye unyango lwale nto.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

In the one living specimen studied, it was less irritable than the puff adder and was not inclined to strike, but it hissed when teased and struggled furiously when restrained.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

The first specimen known to science was a road kill on the east side of the Rift Valley in Ethiopia.1

In 1995, the species was known from only three specimens.1

In 2007, an exporter transported 20 of these snakes to the United States.1

In 2014, the San Diego Zoo became the first U.S. zoo to successfully breed the species in captivity.1
