Immediately after this snake’s bite, there are almost no symptoms. The victim can experience only some mild numb and itchy feeling. But after 5-6 hours, severe symptoms start to emerge, such as general ache, ataxia, loss of voice, glossolysis (paralysis of the tongue), difficulties in breathing, among others. Estimated mortality is between 35%-100%. During the Vietnam War, American soldiers called this snake the “two-step snake.”
