Large-eyed pit viper
咬The large-eyed pit viper is a venomous snake. It lives in Southeast Asia, including northern Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and southern Vietnam. Its venom can damage blood and organs, so it is important to know it when travelling in the region.1

怎麼認出牠
- Its eyes are relatively large for its size, and this is especially noticeable in adults.1
- It is known as a green pit viper, which is the group of similar green vipers it belongs to.1
常被誤認為: It is often grouped with other green pit vipers. Its relatively large eyes are what set it apart from them.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?
It belongs to the genus Trimeresurus, whose vipers have mainly hemotoxic venom. This type of venom can destroy blood cells, disrupt blood clotting and damage organ function. Its better-studied relative, the white-lipped pit viper, can cause effects ranging from mild envenomation to death.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。A bite from its better-studied relative, the white-lipped pit viper, can range from mild envenomation to death. The viper family, Viperidae, includes some of the deadliest snakes in the world and is responsible for more human deaths than any other type of snake.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
