Speaking of the inch white snake, everyone must have heard of it. The inch white snake generally refers to the silver-ringed snake, also known as white-banded snake, white-knotted snake, silver-armored snake, etc. It is called the fourth most poisonous snake on land because of its extremely strong poison. It is also the most venomous snake on land. So why is it called the most venomous snake on land in our country? Are you all curious? Don't worry, next, the editor will have a good chat with you about the inch white snake.

I. Morphological characteristics

First of all, let’s start with their appearance characteristics. The Cunbai snake is an anterior groove-toothed viper with two fangs. Connected to the venom gland, when it bites, the venom will be injected into the human body through the teeth, and the person is bitten, the symptoms are not obvious at first, and the pain is relatively small, if not treated in time, it is likely to die of respiratory paralysis.

However, the Cunbai Snake is not very big, and its body length is generally between 1-1.8 meters. Because the Cunbai Snake is mild-mannered and timid by nature, it generally does not take the initiative to attack people, so the people in the world are injured by it. There are not many cases. But don't let your guard down, because they never warn you when they bite.

Second, neurotoxins

The unit of toxicity intensity is LD50 (the median lethal dose mg/kg), while the LD50 of the white snake is 0.08-0.108. That is to say, 1 milligram of toxin in an adult inch white snake can cause more than a dozen people to die. It can be seen that its toxicity is extremely strong.

It is said that the bite of the inch white snake accounts for 8.12% of all types of venomous snakes, ranking fifth, and the number of deaths ranks first. The toxicity of the inch white snake is that it is easy to be ignored and the best time for treatment is missed. When bitten by the inch white snake, the wound is generally not red, painful, or swollen, so many people will be paralyzed, but 1-4 hours after being bitten , at the latest 9 hours will appear blurred vision, chest tightness and shortness of breath and other symptoms, severe pupil miosis, difficulty breathing, and finally death due to respiratory arrest.

III. Distribution range

Cunbai snake is the most venomous snake in the genus krait. After that, it was the strongest terrestrial venomous snake, but because the thin-scaled Taipan snake, the eastern cobra and the Taipan snake are not distributed in China, the inchbai snake has become the most venomous venomous snake on land in my country.

The inch white snake has a wide range of distribution, mainly in Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places in my country, but each place has a different name, such as Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi In Zhejiang, there are many called Cunbai Snake, while Fujian is called Baijie Snake, and Jiangxi is called Bamboo Snake.

In short, the inch white snake is relatively common in our lives. If you see a black snake with a ring of white stripes on it, it is likely to be it. At this time, you must stay away from it and do not catch it without authorization!
