The hundred-pace viper is a pit viper that lives in the mountains and hills of southern China, Taiwan and northern Vietnam. It is venomous, and its bite can be dangerous, so it is important to know what it looks like. Its name comes from a well-known but exaggerated local belief about how far a bite victim can walk.1

怎麼認出牠

  • Light brown or greyish brown, with a series of dark brown triangles along each side1
  • About 20 light brown, squarish blotches run along the back1
  • Top of the head and upper sides are black, with a black streak from the eye to the corner of the mouth1
  • Large, triangular head with an upturned snout, and a very stout body1
  • Young snakes are much lighter than adults but have the same pattern1

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候，毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

Its venom is a potent hemotoxin, which damages blood and tissue and is strongly haemorrhagic, meaning it causes bleeding. Bite symptoms include severe pain and bleeding that may begin almost immediately, followed by swelling, blistering, tissue death (necrosis) and ulceration. Heart palpitations may come on suddenly and relatively soon after the bite.1

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療，牠可能會害死一個人。

The species is considered dangerous, and deaths are not unusual. Its large, hinged fangs can deliver large amounts of venom.1

好消息：醫生有藥（抗毒血清）或治療方法。1

如果牠咬人

  • Victims should be treated according to the seriousness of the bite. Cutting off or burning a bitten finger or limb is harmful and can cause further complications. An antivenom is produced in Taiwan.1
  • 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

小知識

1

Its popular name, hundred-pacer, is said to come from a belief that a bitten victim can walk only 100 steps before dying.1

2

A protein from its venom, called ACTX-6, has been shown to cause cell death in isolated cancer cells.1

3

Its venom is widely used in research. In mice, it attacks the kidneys and the mice die.1

4

It is one of the few pit vipers that lays eggs. It can keep eggs inside during early incubation, which shortens the time they need to develop after being laid.1

5

The venom has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to make antivenin for treating snakebites.1

6

For the Paiwan people of Taiwan, the viper is the parent of their hero Aljis, and the viper symbol is used on their homes to show power.1

破解迷思

迷思： A person bitten by a hundred-pace viper can only walk 100 steps before dying.

真相： This belief is an exaggeration. The species is still dangerous, and deaths are not unusual. Believing the myth has led people to amputate or burn bitten fingers or limbs, which causes further harm.1
