WTF - Snake!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Moms said she was sure she hit it last night...saw him this morning

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Said to killed in arima...that there is a deadly mofo

[SMc]

seems like its not as deadly as you- plus that is far out the way to be real harm to anyone

I could understand if it snuggling up in the bed or attacking you if you mash it; but to see one and say 'he have venom-must kill' is something I would never understand, especially from a 'hunter' that should know the importance of all the animals along the food chain.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I agree...if its not in your way...leave it....looks bushmasterish

[pugboy]

Yeah that is the big bushmaster
Hardly seen

[meccalli]

Even the name gives you chills, Lachesis muta

[vaiostation]

One hit from that and doh even call the ambulance...call a funeral home

[maj. tom]

That Green Anaconda is a beautiful specimen. Hope they called the zoo to take care of it and release it later.

[bluefete]

So tell me - if I am walking through the bush and unwittingly step on one - what should I do thereafter?

BTW - That is one nasty-ass looking snake!!!!!

Hope and pray you didn't get bite. But if you did make peace with your God.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I could see men like Brady Barr coming here just to go and look for one of those

yeah, it eh nice at all. bushmaster venom is slower acting than ampeprie venom, but the downside is they inject more volume. once you make it out d bush within a couple hours after the bite and they administer antivenom yuh chances of recovery are relatively good but for him to have necrosis taking place, he musbe was real deep in d bush. he most likely gonna lose that lower leg.


when in d bush, eyes open, mind sharp & proper gear at all times fellas

Extensive Tissue Necrosis of the Lower Limb in an 11-Year-Old Boy Who Had Been Bitten Two Weeks Earlier by a Bothrops asper in Ecuador.
Only antibiotic treatment had been given, so tissue damage was extensive, requiring above-knee amputation. Such pathological alterations are caused by the direct action of locally acting toxins in the venom (mostly metalloproteinases and phospholipases A 2), together with an indirect effect promoted by local inflammatory events and ischemia secondary to venom-induced vascular damage and increased intracompartmental pressure.

Bothrops asper (aka fer-de-lance) is a highly venomous pit viper species the range of which extends from southern Mexico to northern South America.This is the only Bothrops species that occurs on the island of Trinidad.

I expect that the Lachesis muta (Southern American bushmaster) venom's effects would be quite similar for a bite treated without the antivenin at Sangre Grande Hospital.

Nahhh....wont lose foot, it's just a nasty looking reminder of that encounter...he does not wear short pants to go out again...and this happened years ago, cocoa field biche forest

[bluefete]

Does the bushmaster run away if it hears you coming?

I suppose to go in de bush (Toco side) in a couple weeks and that snake giving me the shakes.

Simple solution- if you not used to walking in the bush dont do it OR let someone who is guide you through

firstly in order to run it would need legs- secondly take the advice below

finally after your remark about scorpions and you being the unlucky 3rd strike I would really reconsider going in the bush as though you are excellent at sharing click-bait information I sometimes wonder if you are all there- no offence but you do worry be from time to time.


Finally-that is a beautiful specimen that should still be alive today- I could bet that the 'attackee' was in no danger when they came across it- probably on the side of the road chilling when a driver saw it and felt a need to deal with the problem

I know hunters who would rub their dogs with either black disinfectant or ammonia...it's 50-50 because this method not only keep away snakes, but the wild animals as well...so feel free to rub down with either

ADONI, I sorry to tell you this eh but whoever told you that lied to you.

blue, they are not a very fast moving snake, so they are easy to avoid if you spot them early.
they will try to escape interaction with humans if possible, but if startled they won't move any more than it takes them to get into to striking if position if they see or sense you coming. they not as highly aggressive as the mappepire either, but they can strike a lot higher up than a mappepire normally would so getting bitten above the knee is possible.
