lazarus Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) Snakes of Pattaya -- Sukhumvit 89 Nongprue The 2nd MP Viper today.. earlier snake https://www.facebook.com/groups/1690357437927914/ . . . This species has a reputation for being bad-tempered and quick to strike. In northern Malaysia it is responsible for some 700 incidents of snakebite annually with a mortality rate of about 2 percent. Remarkably sedentary, it has often been found in the same spot several hours after an incident involving humans.[7] Its venom causes severe pain and local swelling and sometimes tissue necrosis, but deaths are not common. Many victims are left with dysfunctional or amputated limbs due to the lack of antivenom and early treatment. In a 2005 study of 225 Malayan pit viper (Calloselasma rhodostoma) bites in Thailand, most victims had mild to moderate symptoms, but 27 of 145 patients (18.6%) developed permanently swollen limbs.[8] There were only two deaths (related to intracerebral hemorrhage) and no amputations. The antivenin manufactured in Thailand seemed effective in reversing the blood clotting caused by the venom. Most patients remained stable and did not require antivenin. The authors suggested that victims not use traditional healers and avoid overuse of tourniquets. In a prospective phase of the study, bites occurred throughout the year but mostly early in the monsoon season (May and June). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calloselasma Edited November 15, 2023 by lazarus ssssssssssssss,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a few as roadkill. *** watching them move is fascinating to me. Edited November 16, 2023 by Glasseye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 Snakes of Pattaya Met this friend when I was out walking the dogs. Neither of us was interested in any closer contact. Location Lake Valley close to Burapha golf course. I assume some kind of Cobra but would be nice to have the correct id. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1690357437927914/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, definitely a rat, but "good mouser" sounds better than "good ratter", at least to my hard of hearing ears. 🐀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
