Even hunters of timber rattlers now admit that these snakes are shy, placid and very fragile. From Smithsonian Magazine, Vol 28 number 9.

document.write(''); 1 mb MOV movie 1 mb AVI movie Courtesy Pennsylvania Wild Resource Conservation Fund American Pit Vipers The Belled Viper One day recently, Curt Brennan used a stick to part some laurel branches in the mountains of northern Pennsylvania. He knew just what he was looking for. Instantly, a harsh insect-like buzzing filled the air, and what looked like a pile of leaves began to move. More than two dozen timber rattlesnakes were basking in the hazy sunshine, heaped in an area the size of a card table. Twenty years ago, Brennan would have been wading into the melee, snatching snakes with his hook and stuffing them into collecting bags, flushed with the danger and excitement of rattler hunting. But Brennan has undergone a change of heart. Finding that snakes are easily injured by the rough handling they receive in capture and seeing that timber rattlers are disappearing from their former haunts, Brennan has become an eloquent spokesman for the snakes, even writing a book, Rattler Tales from Northcentral Pennsylvania , about his conversion from hunter to advocate.

Post Graduate Department of Medicine, Govt. Medical College Jammu, Srinagar, India Abstract Key words : Echis carinatus, envenomation, acute renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, intravascular haemolysis, acute cortical necrosis. Introduction
E. Carinatus is labelled as the most dangerous snake in the world and the most striking effects of its envenomation are coagulation disturbances and bleeding 1, 7-9. It is also the commonest cause of snakebites over the globe9. We present 62 cases of ARF following E. Carinatus envenomation out of 360 cases seen in last four years and this forms a large series of snakebite induced ARF. Address for Correspondence:
Dr. Gazanfar Ali MD
Srinagar,
Patients and Methods
Initial laboratory studies included haematological investigations like baseline haemograms, platelet count, coagulation profile including clotting time, clot quality, bleeding time, prothrombin time (PT), prothrombin index, partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and fibrin degradation products (FDP). Biochemical tests for blood urea, creatinine, serum electrolytes, liver function tests and blood sugar were done and repeated periodically. Urinalysis and electrocardiograms were performed in all. Renal biopsy was not done on any patient. Bolus doses of antivenom serum (AVS) were given to all the patients followed by a continuous infusion for 48 hours. 44 patients (71%) needed dialysis. Patients with ARF were followed up for a period of 4 to 12 weeks.

Ursini's viper
Vipera ursinii Description: The common adder, long-nosed adder, and Ursini's viper basically have the same coloration and dorsal zigzag pattern. The exception among these adders is that the common adder and Ursini's viper lack the projection of tiny scales on the tip of the nose. Characteristics: These little vipers have an irritable disposition. They will readily strike when approached. Their venom is hemotoxic. Although rare, deaths from the bites of these vipers have been recorded. Habitat: Meadows, farmlands, rocky hillsides, and open, grassy fields. Length: Average 45 centimeters, maximum 90 centimeters.

Range: Armenia and surrounding Near Eastern countries Habitat: Dry, sparsely vegetated rocky slopes at high elevations Conservation Status Not listed by IUCN Scientific Name: Montivipera raddei
Mountain Dweller
The Armenian viper, along with seven other closely related species, belongs to a group called "mountain vipers." These venomous snakes have several things in common, including - you guessed it! - their mountain-dwelling lifestyle.
Same Snake, Different Colors
Don't expect all Armenian vipers to look alike! They can be various shades of gray, gray-brown, or black. Their backs are covered with round blotches that can be yellow, yellow-orange, brown-orange, or red - and often edged in black. Their head is covered with small scales, except for the large scales above the eyes. The back of the head has two teardrop-shaped black spots. Male Armenian vipers can grow up to 39 inches long, females up to 31 inches.

Precautions With Snakes
Snakes are important members of the natural world and make a significant contribution to the control of pests such as rats, insects, and other snakes. Poisonous snakes, however, are not desirable members of the human habitat. The risk of a poisonous snakebite is lower than that of being struck by lightening and can be reduced further by:
  • Cleaning up refuse and other hiding spots around buildings and yards; Wearing heavy shoes and pants in wooded areas; and Looking first before stepping or touching hidden areas where snakes are likely to be resting or hiding.
Most poisonous snakes in the United States belong to the pit viper group. The pit viper has pits on its head, vertical pupils, a triangular head, slim neck, and a heavy body with a single row of scales on the underside of the tail. The pit viper group includes the major categories of copperhead and cottonmouth and two major categories of rattlesnake. All pit vipers may vibrate their tail sections rapidly to make noise when threatened. The cottonmouth and copperhead categories are often referred to as mocassins, but they are two distinct categories within the pit viper group.

Treating and Preventing Venomous Bites
by John Henkel FDA Consumer magazine (November 1995)
First Aid for Snakebites
Over the years, snakebite victims have been exposed to all kinds of slicing, freezing and squeezing as stopgap measures before receiving medical care. Some of these approaches, like cutting into a bite and attempting to suck out the venom, have largely fallen out of favor. "In the past five or 10 years, there's been a backing off in first aid from really invasive things like making incisions," says Arizona physician David Hardy, M.D., who studies snakebite epidemiology. "This is because we now know these things can do harm and we don't know if they really change the outcome." Many health-care professionals embrace just a few basic first-aid techniques. According to the American Red Cross, these steps should be taken:

POISONOUS SNAKES
There are no infallible rules for expedient identification of poisonous snakes in the field, because the guidelines all require close observation or manipulation of the snake's body. The best strategy is to leave all snakes alone. Where snakes are plentiful and poisonous species are present, the risk of their bites negates their food value. Apply the following safety rules when traveling in areas where there are poisonous snakes:
  • Walk carefully and watch where you step. Step onto logs rather than over them before looking and moving on. Look closely when picking fruit or moving around water. Do not tease, molest, or harass snakes. Snakes cannot close their eyes. Therefore, you cannot tell if they are asleep. Some snakes, such as mambas, cobras, and bushmasters, will attack aggressively when cornered or guarding a nest. Use sticks to turn logs and rocks.

For a man wearing shoes and trousers and living in a camp, the danger of being bitten by a poisonous snake is small compared to the hazards of malaria, cholera, dysentery, or other diseases. Nearly all snakes avoid man if possible. Reportedly, however, a fewthe king cobra of Southeast Asia, the bushmaster and tropical rattlesnake of South America, and the mamba of Africasometimes aggressively attack man, but even these snakes do so only occasionally. Most snakes get out of the way and are seldom seen. However in a wilderness survival situation you need to be prepared for anything, and while snake attacks are rare they can be deadly.

    Species : Tropidolaemus wagleri
    Maximum Size : One metre References : H2, H3 Wagler's Pit Viper is perhaps the most well-known of the various green, arboreal pit vipers to be found in the region. This is a snake of primary forest, mature secondary forest and mangroves. It is active by night; by day it generally lays coiled high in the trees. The term "pit viper" refers to heat-sensing "pits" which occur on each cheek - these are used to locate prey. As with other pit vipers, this species has haemotoxic venom, meaning it is poisonous to the blood system. The species can be identified by the triangular head. Juveniles are mainly light green with narrow pale bands, and adults are dark green with thicker yellowish bands. Wagler's Pit Viper ranges from Southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore to Borneo, Sumatra, Sulawesi and the more southerly islands of the Philippines. In Penang, Malaysia this is the species which inhabits the famous Snake Temple.

The scales of the Shore Pit Viper are strongly keeled. Its colour can vary from a uniform dark grey or purplish-brown to a weakly-patterned brown, with a white stripe along each flank, or even greenish-yellow with dark mottling. The scales are strongly keeled (i.e. ridged - see inset). The species ranges from India and Burma, through Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia to Singapore and Sumatra.

    One encounters Elapidae in Africa (cobras, mambas), in Asia (Cobras, bungars), in Australia (cobras), and in America (coral snakes).
    Finally, Hydophiidae (water snakes), of which most have adapted to aquatic life, live in tropical seas.

    In Europe we are mostly concerned with the viper. Of an average size of 50 to 60 cm with a triangular head, the viper is stocky, brown or grey, with a zigzag black dorsal marking. Their life cycle is mainly from May to September, from feeding and molting to reproduction. They hibernate in winter by burying themselves to varying depths.
    Vipers are not agressive but will attack if they feel threatened. Most bites happen in the summer during the warm hours between 11am and 3 pm. Their great jaw-opening ability allows them to bite any part of the body. In the middle of nowhere, the

    Dodged Viper Legend: Snake inadvertently loosed in car leads to an escalating series of accidents. Example: [Brunvand, 1988]
    A woman got in her car to drive somewhere, and before long she felt something tickling her ankle. She looked down and, of all things, she saw a snake sticking out of the bottom of her pants leg. Terrified by the snake, which was creeping rapidly up her leg, the woman pulled the car over, leaped out and began to kick in an effort to dislodge the snake. She failed and the snake crept still farther up her pant leg, she dropped to the ground and rolled around, hoping the snake would slither out. A man driving by saw her contortions. "Oh, my God!" the man thought, "That poor woman is having a seizure!" So he stopped his car and ran over to help her. Another man driving by saw the first man bent over the kicking, screaming woman. "Oh, my God!" this man thought. "That guy's attacking her!" He stopped his car, ran over and punched the first man in the face. Variations:
    • Sometimes the hilarity is caused by a snake that pops up out of nowhere, startling the driver, but sometimes the trigger is gerbil or hamster the woman was knowingly transporting to the vet that escapes its cage.

    The following is a list of what are currently considered the most toxic snake venoms. It is important to keep in mind that regarding venoms, the most deadly snake, and the most dangerous snake are two entirely different concepts. Some of the snakes with the most toxic venom, i.e., the most deadly rarely bite people. In fact, the sea snakes are generally quite docile. The title of most dangerous snake, i.e., the one that kills the most people, would go to different animals than those listed below. In the United States the coral snake has a very toxic venom but has killed few people because it is small, secretive and gentle. The most dangerous are the rattlesnakes like the Eastern and Western Diamondbacks. These rattlesnakes are large, have large venom glands, are relatively common, and are more likely to hold their ground and bite. In Africa common Egyptian Cobras, Saw-scaled Vipers, and Puff Adders would be the most dangerous for the same reasons listed for the rattlesnakes above. In Asia the common Cobra and the Russell's Viper are the snakes that kill the most people.

    http://www.expat.or.id/medical/poisonoussnakes.html
    Home Practical Information Health and Medical Concerns
    There are approximately 450 species of snakes in Indonesia. Only five or so are considered dangerously poisonous and found around Jakarta like any wild animal, the snake will usually try to escape before it will attack. They can usually be depended on to bite if they are stepped on. Most are nocturnal and can be avoided by not walking barefoot at night in dark, swampy, bushy areas. Keeping one's garden clear of thick vegetation, tall grass, and dark rocky hideaways helps dissuade snakes from making one's house or yard a snake's hideaway. It is hoped that these illustrations will assist in identification of those species which are venomous. Indonesians often wrongly identify snakes and usually say that ALL are poisonous. A snake which cannot be positively identified SHOULD be considered dangerous.
    Snake bite treatment
    It is important to distinguish between snakebite and snake poisoning. The bite from a harmless snake can produce mild pain and extreme fear. A bite from a venomous snake may not necessarily mean that venom has been injected into the wound. If someone has received a bite, check for symptoms of poisoning, keep the victim calm and treat for shock, and keep the site of the bite lower than the heart, and immobile. DO NOT ADMINISTER ALCOHOL. Some good snake-related advice from a snake lover in Jakarta:

    Super snake: Vipers are among the most successful and widespread species. Although there are not many species (only about 230), vipers are found in deserts, rainforests and even in cold places such as mountains and near the Arctic. The only places they are not found is in Madagascar and Australia and New Zealand, which broke away from the mainland before the vipers evolved into their present form. Vipers are the top-of-the-line latest-model snakes, developing 21 million years ago.
    Most venomous: Vipers have the most sophisticated venom delivery system. They are the only snakes with hinged front fangs. Because the fangs can be folded back when not in use, they can be very large and very long. These long, sharp fangs can penetrate thick fur and feathers. Venom is rapidly injected by very large muscles at the back of the head. These give vipers their typical triangular shaped head, further emphasised by their slender neck. Their toxins are haemotoxic: breaking down tissues and blood cells. Vipers typically have stout bodies and short tails.

    The Dog-faced water snake seems to be the most abundant.
    Cerebus rynchops
    is most easily seen when
    hunting in sandy estuaries
    It is easily observed in mangrove streams and prawn ponds at night when it emerges from hiding to hunt for fish. Being largely aquatic, its eyes are situated on the top of the head such that it is able to see above the water with the rest of the body submerged. Although it has venomous fangs in the rear of the head, the poison is mild and has not caused death.
