Back to Contents the Student Sourcebook 2002 International School of Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture in Umbria, Italy Next Previous Viper Supplement I've been in and around Todi and Montecastello since 1986, and have never been bitten by a viper, much less actually seen one. But since they are out there, and some of you are land-scapers, here is some information about vipers, what they look like, and what to do if one bites. Viper Viper , common name for snakes in a family of venomous snakes For Goodness Snakes! 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:

Home Outdoor Survival OUTDOOR SURVIVAL Dangerous Animals: 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.

ommon Viper or Adder (Vipera berus) ommon viper reaches 80 cm. It is the thick snake with a thin short tail (about 1/10 of a body). The head has the characteristic triangular form and is different from a body appreciablly. The colouring of common vipers is very variable; there are silvery, sky-bluish, grey, copper-coloured, brown, black. There is characteristic dark zigzag figure along spine (naturally, imperceptible at black specimen). Occasionally there are specimens without such figure or with cross dark strips. It is interesting, that at such variability of colouring anybody never met a viper-albino. There is V- (Vipera) or X-shape figure on a head; black strip passes through an eye sideways head. eeing a viper (and even a slow-worm) many are nearly hysterics. But try to not become panic-stricken, to not run, to not rush with a stick, and to look at this animal. Snake is excellent!

SNAKES OF CYPRUS By Antonis L. Antoniou and Cyprus - The Land You Will Love!!! Senior Environmental Officer Environment Service, Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment Blunt - Nosed Viper ( Vipera lebetina Big strong viper with a sturdy head and very short tail clearly distinguishable from the body.

Cyprus Cat Snake ( Telescopus fallax cyprianus A slender snake with vertical cat-like pupils. Mainly hunts at twilight and feeds almost entirely on lizards. Poisonous - Unlikely to dangerous to man. R eptiles are a very important link in the chain of life and evolution. For the last 200 million years they actively participate in the development of the various ecosystems, for they are found all over the planet except the two polar regions and altitudes over 6.000m. They constitute a very important prey for many mammals, birds and invertebrates, thus contributing to the dynamic balance in their respective ecosystems. D espite the fact that reptiles have been present all over our planet for so many million years, it is only during the last few decades that their numbers have shown a distinct decline in many of their populations. In addition, many species are threatened, or even at the brink of extinction. The most important reasons behind this decline are man's activities, especial ly through the destruction of habitats. Through their continuous quest for land to be used for habitation, agriculture, industry or other uses humans have caused widespread habitat destruction, with negative impact on all species that live in them. Simultaneously, the uncontrolled use of pesti- cides affects various reptiles both directly and indirectly (i.e. through their food), with detrimental results.

56. Storehouse Of Goa’s Biodiversity let's love wildlife habitat now ! snakes of the viper family, bare a single pairof long hallows fangs on the very short maxillary bones of the upper jaw. http://www.goacom.com/community/greencross/snakes.htm

Home News Sanctuary Snakes ... Feedback let's love wildlife habitat now ! Snakes of the viper family, bare a single pair of long hallows fangs on the very short maxillary bones of the upper jaw. The Mexilla can be rotated to bring the fangs forward for biting while the highly developed jaw mussels squeeze the venom. (Which mainly acts on the tissues and blood of the victim) from the glands on either side of the snakes head. The bulkiness of these mussels and glands gives the head a typically wide triangular shape. Vipers usually obtain their prey with a quick strike injecting the venom rapidly and then awaiting the death of the prey, before seizing it again. They feed on vertebrates such as frogs, lizards, and mammals like rats, up to the size of a hare. We in Goa are fortunate enough to have six different species of vipers with a variety of subspecies, many of which still remain unrecorded. Abundant in Goa are the Russell’s viper (vipera russelli) and the saw scaled viper (echis carinatus) which are considered to be part of the big four most poisonous snakes found in India whose bites are fatal to man and whose specimens have been collected from the heart of Panjim City (the capital) and other urban areas. Russel’s viper (vipera russelleii) Goan names: Ghonas, Kusdo, Agyo and Mandol.

CASKE 2000 Tropical Snakes of Belize Blue Creek (Belize) PHOTOGRAPHS AND TEXT BY JEAN-PHILIPPE SOULÉ 1999 During our stay in Belize, we've seen five species of snakes. In Blue Creek we sighted beautiful Green-Tree-Snakes almost daily. Green- Headed -Tree-Snakes were also fairly common. We were lucky to sight at least one specimen of the three following species, Snail-Eating-Snake, and the two most dangerous Fer-de-lance and Coral Snakes. I wasn't able to take any digital photos of the Green-Headed-Tree-Snake, but you can see photos from all the other species. We are also listing in this page all the dangerous species of snakes found in Belize. Note: Many more species of snakes are found in Belize but are harmless. Snakes by nature aren't aggressive (with the exception of the Fer-de-lance). Even the most poisonous ones like the Coral Snake shy away and avoid people at all costs. They usually only bite when people step on them or catch them. Even poisonous snakes do not inject their venom each time they bite. For example, it is believed that rattlesnakes inject their venom only once out of 7 or 8 bites. Statistics show a very small number of deaths from snakes in Belize (I've heard the figure of one death per year). Still snakes seem to be the most feared animals. People working in Sugar Cane plantation are at highest risks, still the number of fatal accidents remain very low. The Species we've observed in Belize (all out of Blue Creek) Green-Tree-Snake (Leptophis ahaetulla)

58. LD50 For Various Snakes. LD50 Scores for various snakes. Aipysurus laevis, Olive sea snake, 0.264,0.09, 10.033.0. Atractaspis dahomeyensis, Mole viper, 2.24, 1.3-7.6. http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/net12980/ld50tot.html

All data in the table that follows must be viewed with grave suspicion. The Mouse LD50 is a figure that is indicative of a dosage that will kill 50% of the mice envenomated within 24 hours. These are standard 20 g mice. Thus a simple calculation involving yield and LD50 SHOULD be indicative of how many mice such a snake is capable of killing and by very crude approximation the weight of a human it would kill. Example: Dendroaspis polylepis (Black Mamba) has a LD50 (subcutaneous) of 0.32 mg/kg and a yield of 50.0 - 120.0 mg of venom. This means that it takes 0.32mg of venom to kill 500 grammes, of mice (remember it only kills half of those it is administered to). We use a standard 20g mouse, thus there are 50 mice to a kilogramme or 25 mice to 500 grammes. 1 mg of venom is enough to kill 78.125 mice. That is 1 divided by 0.32 and the result multiplied by 25. The snake yields up to 120 mg of venom so we multiply our result by 120 and arrive at a figure of 9375 mice. Or, by extrapolation, 187.5 kg of human(s). We do know from reliable records that this snake has killed 11 adult humans in a single attack. Thus the mouse LD50 obviously does not tell the whole story! It is however a baseline comparison that has some merits. Mice are not humans. The testing has been done in various places where standards differ from laboratory to laboratory. Some data comes from snakes that were not - or cannot - be reconciled with an actual species.

On the tip of the snout there is a small protuberance covered with nine or ten scales. The color of the body is usually light gray in males and gray-brown or red-brown in females, but there are variations even in yellow or pink. From the rear of the body to the head runs a thick wavy or zigzag stripe that may be broken in rhombuses.

Eastside Boxing Boxing News Boxing Results Interviews ... Contact The Viper is left Venom less, but the Fan's Snakebite Still Strikes Mike Samuels 01.02 - It's been rumored for hundreds of years that boxing is one of the most corrupt sports in the world. It's had its share of money problems, some Mafia ties, promotional scandals, and some go as far as to mention "phantom-punch" fights such as Ali-Liston II or Tyson-Seldon. So, yeah, maybe boxing is as crazy and confused - and dirty - as people in the journalism field have made it out to be. Maybe fights have been rigged from time to time, and just maybe the sport isn't as fair as it should be. Then again, life isn't even fair, so how can one expect anything it to be? Don't drown your hopes in the scandals and ruthlessness of this beautiful "sweet science" too soon, because if one thing is fair in boxing, it's the fans that keep this game alive. The fan's are not only drawn to the sport, but help fighters with all the negativity they drop from their jaws. They help keep the fire burning, the passion glowing, and the willingness to prove one's self-alive. Boxing fans. There's nothing like em'.
