咬伤

它咬的时候，毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。

它的毒液会造成什么？

This is a rear-fanged snake, meaning its fangs are at the back of the mouth, and it is described as mildly venomous. Its venom can paralyse small prey. Bites are expected to cause only mild to moderate local swelling and pain, with occasional bruising, numbness, redness or bleeding, but no tissue death (necrosis) and no whole-body (systemic) effects.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

Bites are not expected to cause medically significant effects. Most cases are minor, but some are more severe and need hospital admission and treatment.1

它害怕时会做什么？

Usually sluggish and hard to provoke into striking, it may become hostile when threatened and display with its mouth wide open.1

如果它咬人

Bites usually need no treatment beyond checking for infection and making sure tetanus protection is up to date. Anyone who develops local symptoms, such as signs of infection, should return for medical review. Some bites are more severe and need hospital care, so a careful assessment is needed before discharge.1
清洗咬伤处，让人保持冷静并就医。有些种类（比如非洲树蛇）可能几小时后才致命。

事实

It is one of the rear-fanged snakes, and its venom is used to paralyse small prey.1

Its long, grasping tail lets it live entirely in trees, so it is described as purely arboreal.1

Despite its size, it is sluggish and makes no attempt to escape when handled.1

Hatchlings look very different from adults, being reddish brown with a green head.1

It hunts at night and rests during the day, coiled among the branches.1

A female lays between 7 and 14 eggs, which take about 85 days to hatch.1
