Strauch's pit viper
咬Strauch's pit viper is a small venomous snake that lives high on the Tibetan Plateau in western China. It is one of the highest-living pit vipers known, and some individuals are found above the tree line.1
怎麼認出牠
- A small snake, probably not much longer than 50 cm in total length.1
- A greenish brown, yellowish brown or nut brown base colour, with four long stripes that are sometimes broken up or form a zigzag or spotted pattern.1
- Young snakes show the stripes clearly, while older ones are dark or even uniformly black.1
- A dark stripe runs behind the eye, bordered below by pale scales.1
常被誤認為: It is distinguished from G. monticola, a related pit viper, by its higher midbody dorsal scale count (the number of scale rows along the middle of the back).1
毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
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。
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

小知識
Strauch's pit viper shares the altitude record for pit vipers with Crotalus triseriatus of Mexico. Both have been found at over 4,000 metres (13,000 feet).1
A 2019 study by Kai Wang and colleagues re-examined populations of this snake. It described the eastern Tibetan populations as a new species.1
Its known range runs from about 2,886 metres to 4,267 metres above sea level.1
