怎样认出它

  • Slender body with a prehensile tail.1
  • Very complex colour pattern, ranging from lavender grey to yellow green.1
  • A row of bold white spots where the dorsal and ventral scales meet.1
  • Mostly single subcaudal scales (the scales under the tail).1

常被误认为: It is distinguished from other members of the genus Bothrops by its mostly single subcaudal scales and the row of bold white spots where the dorsal and ventral scales meet.1

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?

Only two bites from this species have been documented. Both caused severe local swelling of the entire bitten limb. In the second case, tissue damage was so severe that the limb had to be amputated, even though antivenin treatment was given.1

它对人有多危险?

对人的危险: 非常危险不治疗可能会害死人。

Only two bites have been documented, so little is known about how dangerous this snake is. Both bites caused severe swelling and tissue damage, and one led to amputation.1

好消息:医生有药(抗毒血清)或治疗方法。1

如果它咬人

  • 让人保持安静不动,被咬的肢体与心脏保持同一高度,摘下戒指和紧身物品,尽快送医院。

一定先拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)。这里是一般急救指导,不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
  • 如果被它咬了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识
