| venom |
Potently haemotoxic, causing severe bleeding internally and from mucous surfaces. May result in fatal haemarrhage if untreated. Although the venom is extremely potent it is slow-acting and may take more than 24-48 hours to produce serious symptoms. An effective Boomslang antivenom is available. Victims should be hospitalised for at least 48 hours. This snake has a docile temperament, but under extreme provocation it inflates its throat and will strike without hesitation with its mouth wide gape.
