Bornean keeled green pit viper
The Bornean keeled green pit viper is a bright green snake that lives in the trees. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. It is one of the most common snakes met in the lowland rainforests of Borneo.1

怎麼認出牠
- Usually bright green, with many thin crossbands1
- Some areas have light green to blue background colours1
- The bands can be blue, red or white, or a mix of these1
- Females may have blue or red dots on the underside, while males and juveniles have only red dots1
- Females are much larger than males1
常被誤認為: Until 2007 this species was considered part of the Tropidolaemus wagleri species complex, so it was grouped with that species. The two are closely related.1
毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
No published studies describe the venom of this species. It is likely similar to that of its close relative Tropidolaemus wagleri, which is mainly neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves, with a smaller share of hemotoxic components that damage blood and tissue.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 嚴重被咬了需要看醫生。死亡案例非常罕見。The danger from this species is unknown. Bites from the close relative T. wagleri are not known to be fatal, and their effects are usually local. Any venomous snake can cause a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, which can be fatal, so keep well away from it.1
牠害怕時會做什麼?
Its bright green colour, with broken green patterning, helps it blend into the trees, which hides it from predators and prey.1
如果牠咬人
- 讓傷者保持不動和冷靜,讓被咬的手臂或腿保持在和心臟一樣的高度,取下戒指和緊身的東西,並趕快送醫院。
一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識
注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
- 如果被牠咬了:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。
牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識
