The side-striped palm pitviper is a green, tree-dwelling snake that lives in the mountain forests of Costa Rica and western Panama. It is venomous, and its bites can be serious, although deaths are rare. Its green colour helps it blend in among the leaves.1

Bites can be serious, but fatalities are rare.1

Izindaba ezinhle: odokotela banomuthi (i-antivenom) noma indlela yokwelapha lokhu.1

Senzani uma sesabile?

It prefers to stay coiled and still, relying on its camouflage, and will strike quickly if touched.1

Uma siluma

Gcina umuntu engashukumi futhi ezolile, gcina isitho esilunyiwe sisezingeni lenhliziyo, khipha izindandatho nezinto eziqinile, bese umusa esibhedlela ngokushesha.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso

Its prehensile tail acts as an anchor when resting and helps it grab prey when it strikes.1

Blue specimens are sometimes found in the wild, not only in captivity.1

Juveniles are brown, and it takes about 18–24 months for them to change to adult colours.1

A polyvalent antivenin that covers this species is produced by the Instituto Clodomiro Picado in Costa Rica.1
