The venomous snakes include pit vipers (rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths) and coral snakes. Of the roughly 45,000 snakebites in the United States each year, fewer than 8,000 are by venomous snakes, and about six people die. In about 25% of all pit viper bites, venom is not injected. Most deaths occur in children, older people, and people who are untreated or treated inappropriately. Rattlesnakes account for about 70% of poisonous snakebites in the United States and for almost all of the deaths. Copperheads and, to a lesser extent, cottonmouths account for most other poisonous snakebites. Coral snake bites and those from imported snakes are rare.

84. Russell's Viper (Vipera Russelli Pulchella & Vipera Russelli Siamensis) and is often the main cause of death in Russell s viper snake bites in Burma . Multiple bites inflicted by a single snake are also possible, http://www-surgery.ucsd.edu/ent/DAVIDSON/Snake/Russeli.htm

IMMEDIATE FIRST AID for bites by Russell's Viper (Vipera russelli pulchella Vipera russelli siamensis) In the event of an actual or probable bite from a Vipera russelli, execute the following first aid measures without delay. Snake: Make sure that the responsible snake or snakes have been appropriately and safely contained, and are out of danger of inflicting any additional bites. Transportation: Immediately call for transportation. Telephone: Victim: Keep the victim calm and reassured. Allow him or her to lie flat and avoid as much movement as possible. If possible, allow the bitten limb to rest at a level lower than the victim's heart. Identify the bite site, looking for fang marks, and apply the Sawyer Pump extractor with the largest cup possible over the bite site. If there are two or more fang marks noted on the limb, apply the pump extractor over at least one fang mark. If more than one pump extractor is available, they may be applied to the additional fang marks. (See the attached copy from "First Aid for Snakebite", by Dr. S.K. Sutherland.)

IMMEDIATE FIRST AID for bites by Vipera xanthina palestinae (Palestine Viper) In the event of an actual or probable bite from a Palestine Viper, execute the following first aid measures without delay. Snake: Make sure that the responsible snake or snakes have been appropriately and safely contained, and are out of danger of inflicting any additional bites. Transportation: Immediately call for transportation. Telephone: Victim: Keep the victim calm and reassured. Allow him or her to lie flat and avoid as much movement as possible. If possible, allow the bitten limb to rest at a level lower than the victim's heart. Identify the bite site, looking for fang marks, and apply the Sawyer Pump extractor with the largest cup possible over the bite site. If there are two or more fang marks noted on the limb, apply the pump extractor over at least one fang mark. If more than one pump extractor is available, they may be applied to the additional fang marks. Immediately wrap a large constricting bandage snugly about the bitten limb at a level just above the bite site, i.e., between the bite site and the heart. The constricting band should be as tight as one might bind a sprained ankle, but not so tight as to constrict blood flow. Immobilize the affected extremity with a splint. DO NOT remove the constricting band or splint until the victim has reached the hospital and is receiving Antivenom.

GLOSSY SNAKES and STILETTO VIPERS Family Atractaspididae Glossy Snakes Aparallactinae include some bizarre snakes. The Quill-snouted Snake Xenocalamus spp ) has a head that looks like the nib on a fountain penlong, flattened with tiny eyes. It lives in sandy habitats and has underslung jaws feeding mainly on amphibians. The Centipede-eating snake Aparallactus spp ) is immune to the venom of their prey. These glossy snakes often look very similar to Stiletto Vipers. The Purple Glossy Snake Amblyodipsas spp ) eats mainly blindsnakes but also skinks and amphibians. All Aparallactinae have grooved rear fangs. There are 45 species. The Stiletto Viper (Atractaspidinae) has a unique way of biting its prey. A venomous snake, it has long hinged fangs and is a burrower (hence it is sometimes also called the Mole or Burrowing Viper). In a confined burrow, it strikes by crawling alongside its prey, opening its mouth slightly, shifting the lower jaw away from the prey and stabbing backwards and sideways with one fang. Unlike true vipers, the snake will stab all available prey before swallowing them; it traps rodents in their burrows and eats the whole nest at one time. It also eats other snakes, lizards and amphibians. Additional burrowing features include: a lack of a “neck”; scales which are smooth, shiny; a dark solid colour, some with a white belly; small eyes; short stout tail.

Make a Gift Internships Volunteers Media Contact ... About Guyana web iwokrama.org Venomous Snakes of Guyana Vipers These are hinged-fanged venomous snakes. Their fangs are designed to be very long so they can penetrate deeply yet be stored against the roof of the mouth when not in use. There are four genera and six species of vipers in Guyana - Bothriopsis, Bothrops, Crotalus , and Lachesis . Vipers are distinctive because of their heavy bodies, short tails, and a triangularly shaped head. Their scales are often keeled. The most famous of the vipers in Guyana is the Bushmaster Lachesis muta ). This snake is aptly named in English and particularly in Latin - as the "silent bringer of death." The bushmaster, known as the surucucu in Brazil, and the shushupe in other countries, is the largest venomous snake in the New World . These snakes can regularly exceed 2,000 millimetres in length (6.5 ft.), and one of the largest recorded was 4,267 mm (14 ft.)! Like the rattlesnake, it has a prominent dorsal ridge, and the head is broad with an upturned snout. The bushmaster is a nocturnal snake, and reported as extremely aggressive, although scientists believe this to be an exaggeration. Bushmaster Lachesis muta The genus Bothriopsis includes two small forest pit vipers in Guyana. The better known of these is the

94. Desert Scour: The Sand Viper Page vipers are livebearing, but some populations in Africa are said to lay eggs.This irrascible snake has perhaps the most toxic viper venom known. http://www.plumed-serpent.com/dscour.html

Newsflash!! Coming in January 2004: the long-awaited English-language release of Ludwig Trutnau's Venomous Snakes: Snakes in the Terrarium . This is the single-best venomous husbandry book I've ever seen; indeed, any of Trutnau's books are must-haves that I find myself referring to again and again, no matter how many other books I have. Available now for pre-order from Amazon don't miss out on this one! (Picture shows a scan of my German copy; U.S. release will have a different cover.) Desert Scour The Sand Viper Page We begin with my favorite among the desert vipers, the impressive little horned viper Cerastes cerastes . Although they've got a lot of immitators, no other snake looks quite so dramatic in the horned viper's understated way. With a range throughout north Africa and into Israel and Arabia, this species can burrow rapidly into the sandy substrate of its desert home, leaving only the horns exposed. It feeds on small mammals, lizards, and birds, and hibernates from November to March in the burrows of desert rodents. Reproduction is by means of eggs. I once knew one of these animals to refuse food for over a year, and then he picked up as though nothing were amiss. The lovely little sand-devil Cerastes is a true tenacious dweller of the empty lands.

The Clinical Management of Snake Bites in the South East Asian Region Introduction - Part 2 Viperidae have long fangs which are normally folded up against the upper jaw but, when the snake strikes, are erected (Fig 2). There are two subgroups, the typical vipers (Viperinae) and the pit vipers (Crotalinae). The Crotalinae have a special sense organ, the pit organ, to detect their warm-blooded prey. This is situated between the nostril and the eye ( Fig 16 Figure 16 Head of a typical pit viper - white-lipped green pit viper ( Trimeresurus albolabris Medically important species in South East Asia are: typical vipers Daboia russelii Fig 17 Echis carinatus and E sochureki saw-scaled or carpet vipers ( Figs 18 pit vipers Calloselasma rhodostoma Malayan pit viper ( Fig 20 Hypnale hypnale hump-nosed viper ( Fig 21 green pit vipers or bamboo vipers (genus Trimeresurus) T albolabris white-lipped green pit viper ( Fig 22 T gramineus Indian bamboo viper T mucrosquamatus Chinese habu ( Fig 23 T purpureomaculatus mangrove pit viper ( Fig 24 T stejnegeri Chinese bamboo viper Figure 17 Daboia russelii siamensis specimen from Myanmar Figure 17 Figure 17 Daboia russelii siamensis specimen from Thailand Figure 17 specimen from Burma Figure 17 Figure 18 Saw-scaled viper ( Echis carinatus Figure 19 Northern saw-scaled viper ( Echis sochureki Figure 20 Malayan pit viper ( Calloselasma rhodostoma Figure 21 Hump-nosed viper ( Hynpale hypnale Figure 22

Bothriechis [Bothrops] schlegeli also known as Schlegel's Viper Classification: Phylum - Chordata Class - Reptilia Order - Squamata, suborder - Ophidia Family - Crotalidae Circadian Cycle: Nocturnal Diet: Carnivore, eating mostly small mammals, lizards, frogs and birds. Range: Neotropical: Southern Mexico, South and Central America to Columbia, Equador and Western Venezuela. Habitat Wet forests with low elevation. Shrubs, brushes, vine tangles, trees and palms usually close to a water source. Physical Characteristics The eyelash viper is 18-30 inches in length. The coloration can be reddish-yellow, yellow, grayish-brown or green. The yellow color can be spotted with white, black or red; the darker colors can be spotted with black or red. Their distinguishing feature is the supraciliarie, or enlarged scale, above each eye, giving the appearance of eyelashes. Life History Their life expectancy can exceed 16 years in captivity. The female has multiple live births usually 12 or more babies are born. Special Adaptations This viper is arboreal and has a prehensile tail. While catching and eating food, this snake can hold onto a branch with its tail and can hang completely suspended in midair while eating his entire meal. The coloration of this viper helps to camouflage it while it hides in the midst of flowers. It hides here to strike at the birds it likes to eat. The "eyelashes" on this viper also help to camouflage it. It is harder to distinguish its head from the surrounding foliage.

Each year, approximately 8,000 venomous snakebites occur in the United States.(1,2) Between 1960 and 1990, no more than 12 fatalities from snake venom poisoning were reported annually.(3,4) Most snakebites occur between April and October, when outdoor activities are popular.(5) In the United States, 99 percent of snakebites are caused by the Crotalidae (pit viper) family of snakes(6) (Table 1). The Crotalidae family includes the following snakes: rattlesnakes, genera Crotalus and Sistrurus (Figure 1); copperheads, Agkistrodon contortrix (Figure 2); and cottonmouths, or water moccasins, Agkistrodon piscivorous (Figure 3). These snakes are referred to as pit vipers because of small, heat-sensitive pits between the eye and the nostril that allow them to sense their prey.

Contact Us THE NAIROBI SNAKE PARK Face to Face with Snakes The Nairobi snake park is not a snake park per se, in the actual sense it is a reptile park as it displays the representatives from all the members of the reptile group. Put up thirty or so years ago, the park has been and still is a constant visitor attraction center. In fact a visit to the museum is never complete without making a visit to the snake park. WHICH REPTILES ARE FOUND IN THE SNAKE PARK? What are reptiles In general, reptiles can be described as cold blooded vertebrates which spend their entire life on land except for a few examples such as the crocodile and some water tortoises. They have rough skin covered with scales making them dry contrary to the common belief that they are slimy and damp always. Nairobi Snake Park is a home to some a hundred or so reptiles belonging to the following four reptilian groups; (a) Snakes (b) Lizards (d) Chelonians (tortoises and turtles) (d) Crocodiles Snakes The snakes kept in the park can be divided into the four main groups.
