Interesting Eyelash Viper Facts
This viper does not generally bite humans, preferring to use their bites on prey, but like all venomous snakes, they should be avoided. They have hemotoxic venom that they inject with their very long, hypodermic needle-like fangs which can cause severe damage to the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. With the help of medical attention, and antivenom, the majority of bite victims recover. Read on for more eyelash viper facts.
