Paramyxovirus Infection in Snakes Matthew A. Sand; Kathryn G. Smith; Christopher R. Gregory, DVM, PhD; Branson W. Ritchie, DVM, PhD; and Kenneth S.

A virus subsequently was isolated from lung tissue of one of the dead snakes. This virus initially was classified as a paramyxo-like virus and designated Fer-de-Lance Virus (Fig. 1). Since the original disease outbreak and identification of a viral etiology in 1972, ophidian paramyxoviruses (OPMV) have emerged as important pathogens of viperid snakes. Fig. 1. Fer-de-Lance, the species of snake in which ophidian paramyxovirus infection was originally described and diagnosed.

Distribution
South Africa (Pondoland, Natal,Transvaal), Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Angola, Zaire, East Africa. A subspecies, the Northern Black mamba (D. p. antinori) occurs in Northern Kenya, north-eastern Uganda, Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia. This subspecies differs from the nominate race only in a variation in head-shields and a higher average number of scale rows.
Description
SIZE : Averages 8-9ft., 10-12ft. specimens are not uncommon and the record is 14ft. Males grow larger than females. This is the world's second longest venomous snake next to the King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah).
APPEARANCE : Long slender elapid with an aptly described 'coffin' shaped head, face paler than the body with gray or greenish-brown medium size eyes. Mid-body scale count is 23-25 rows with body color generally from olive-brown in the northern/western parts of it's range to a slate/gunmetal gray in the southern and humid coastal areas. There is often black speckling along the back half of the body. Belly color is grayish/greenish white. The young are olive to greenish-gray at hatching, but attain adult coloration at about 3-4ft. in length. Despite it's common name, it's never actually black but derives it's name from the color of the inside of it's mouth, which is purple-black and will gladly show you during it's impressive threat display when angered.
RELATED SPECIES : The Eastern Green mamba (D. angusticeps), Western Green mamba (D. viridis), and Jameson's mamba (D. jamesoni) are all highly arboreal species with bright green coloration to a greater or lesser degree, are smaller (ave. 6-7ft.) and have a more timid disposition (although I also work with D. angusticeps and agree with this, I'm told that D. jamesoni doesn't take much to anger).

The world's most poisonous snakes
Snakes seem to inspire either awe or fear - we love them or hate them - there’s no middle ground. They hiss, they rattle, they don’t blink, and they shed their skin. A few species can puff themselves up and others can play dead. Some have horns or odd protrusions and worst of all, their venom can cause severe pain or death within minutes if sprayed or injected through needle-sharp fangs. For many of us, this one attribute alone is the stuff of nightmares. Yet despite a bad rap that goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, snakes are a vital part of our ecology, even the world’s most lethal snakes. bodyOffer(22577) Prepared antivenins are the only known antidote for snakebites. These are made by injecting large animals with close to lethal doses of a specific snake venom until the animal develops immunity. Serum is then extracted and processed as an antivenin. Other factors play a large part in saving a snake bite victim: proper identification of the snake, the location of the bite and time elapsed from the initial strike to administering an antivenin. Some people are allergic to snake bites or to antidotes and may suffer a severe reaction or even die. North America has its share of potentially deadly snakes. However,death from snakebites is very rare since medical help is usually readily available. Encounters with Rattlesnakes are the most common. Various species of rattlers are found all over the US and into Canada, particularly in the arid zones. Water moccasins, Mexican Moccasins, the Cottonmouth, and the Copperhead, all relatives of the Rattlesnake, reside in more southerly regions of the US and are also serpents to be wary of. Of the 24 varieties of Coral snake, the Harlequin and Arizona Coral, deliver a series of potentially lethal bites if disturbed.

Saturday, July 07, 2001 Deadly vipers gaining in popularity

By Roger Alford
The Associated Press SLADE, Ky.
A snake expert from eastern Kentucky is finding that the buyers often get more than they bargained for. Jim Harrison chuckles when he tells of the man who ordered a 10-foot black mamba, which later got loose in his apartment. Mr. Harrison captured the venomous creature for the man. Such calls are coming more often as people purchase deadly snakes through unregulated sales, he says.

  • 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.
  • Immediately wrap a large crepe bandage snugly around the bitten limb starting at the site of the bite and working proximally up the limb (the full length if possible). The bandage should be as tight as one might bind a sprained ankle.

    mamba mamba, name for African snakes of the genus Dendroaspis, in the cobra family. Widely distributed throughout Africa except in the deserts, mambas have extremely toxic venom. When attacking they raise the front of the body high off the ground and aim at the head or trunk of the victim. They do not have hoods (as do the Asian cobras), but some can inflate their necks in a threatening gesture. Members of some species are very aggressive, displaying a greater tendency to attack than do most snakes; nevertheless, their reaction to danger is often flight. The so-called black mamba ( Dendroaspis polylepis ), actually dark brown to gray, may grow up to 14 ft (4.3 m) long and is the most feared of the mambas. It lives mostly in open country and preys on small mammals and birds. The green mamba ( D. angusticeps ) is a more arboreal snake, found in forest and bush country. Both are distributed throughout most of sub-Saharan Africa. Mambas are classified in the phylum Chordata , subphylum Vertebrata, class Reptilia, order Squamata, family Elapidae.
