Rhabdophis
''Rhabdophis'' is a genus of snakes in the subfamily Natricinae of the family Colubridae. Species in the genus ''Rhabdophis'' are generally called keelback snakes, and are found primarily in Southeast Asia. The best-known species is '' Rhabdophis tigrinus''; few other species have been studied in detail. Toxicity Colubrid snakes are often thought of as completely harmless, but there are a handful of notable exceptions, including some species of ''Rhabdophis''. Bites from both ''Rhabdophis tigrinus'' and ''Rhabdophis subminiatus'' have caused cases of severe envenomation. There are several reports of fatal bites from ''R. tigrinus''. Between 1971 and 2020, 5 of 43 ''R. tigrinus'' bites in Japan were fatal, all of which occurred in cases not treated with antivenom. Antivenom is manufactured by the Japan Snake Institute and is an effective treatment for ''R. tigrinus'' bites, but is an unapproved drug. The venom is highly hemorrhagic. While the term "poisonous snake" is often inc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
