Fish-eating viper is one of the medium-sized highly venomous snakes. Its body length is as long as 1.9 to 2 meters, but its body length is limited, and its weight is not. Its maximum weight so far has been found to be more than 7 kilograms, and its waist is thick and can even be comparable to the thighs of many girls. Moreover, the huge triangular snake heads can support them injecting sufficient venom into their prey's bodies. Although it cannot guarantee death in one blow, small mammals like small white rat can basically lie on the ground and twitch within one minute.
Alien name of is also known as Aquarius , Cotton-mouthed snake . It is a relatively typical semi-aquatic animal. It is active most of the time near permanent waters. The main activity time is at night. In addition, the advanced camouflage that can only see the eyes even when using a flashlight allows them to truly be as good as fish in water when they are active at night. The fish-eating viper grows to about 50 cm to 120 cm. The whole body is covered with cross-patterned patterns and has unique edges. The head is triangular, with knife-shaped pupils and fangs. There are white edge lines at the mouth, so it is named "Cotton-mouthed Snake". Viper venom is a blood toxin. It will cause continuous bleeding on the bitten area and it will hurt severely. The skin is purple-black, which will cause abnormal blood coagulation. They are large in size and have developed venom glands. They can inject a lot of venom into the attacker's body at one time. The fish-eating viper ranks fifth among the top ten venomous snakes in the United States. They are a very terrifying giant viper breed.
To be honest, looking at its hideous mouth can make many people shudder. In terms of toxicity and image alone, it is indeed similar to the five-step snake in our country. However, the five-step snake in our country is not only very widely distributed, but it takes much more time on land than in water. In addition, the five-step snake activity area and human activity area are highly overlapping, so there are not too many fish-eating vipers in terms of number of injuries. After all, the fish-eating vipers spend most of their time in water. Although they will go to land, they are relatively small. This leads to the fact that their injury records are much different from those in our country.
However, in terms of toxicity comparison, I think the fish-eating viper will be stronger than the five-step snake. Of course, the difference in body shape between the two is not very large. It is just that the amount of toxins injected at one time is a bit different from the two. In other words, the mortality rate of the fish-eating viper will be higher than that of the five-step snake in our country, and the disability rate is not as good as that of the five-step snake in our country. Although the toxin of the fish-eating viper enters the human body after the toxin of the fish-eating viper enters the human body, the It will damage the muscle tissue of the human body, but the degree of this damage is not very large. It causes more damage to fatal organs. Just like a man in the United States was bitten by a fish-eating viper at his doorstep, he went to the hospital and was injected into three serums. He was discharged after taking it for a week. In my country, he was bitten by a five-step snake, with a serum plus a broken limb. The toxin of the five-step snake is more destructive to the muscles of the human body, so in comparison, the disability rate of the five-step snake is higher than that of the fish-eating viper.
Although most snakes in the Viper family are relatively lazy and wait for food to be delivered to their mouths, the fish-eating viper is much more diligent compared to them. They almost always take the initiative to attack. Of course, they are also afraid of people, but they will not run and basically do not attack people. Unless you hurt them, their food is also widespread. Basically, small mammals are one of their foods, and they are also called the Viper family.
How should we prevent and control venomous snake bites?
First of all, stay away from snake , do not try to catch it, this may not only cause injury to yourself, but also cause more people to be injured. If you are bitten by a snake, the bitten person should be sent to the nearest medical institution immediately to keep the wound clean, and the affected limbs should be raised as much as possible to reduce the impact of venom on the body, and try to remain calm and calm, which will help slow the spread of venom in the human body.
