Common Krait

Common Krait, AKA one of the deadliest snakes alive. They have almost no neck, rising upwards of three to five feet and with a very flat head. If you come across one in the daytime, if discovered, it will hide and respond slowly. However if you run into one at night, as soon as it gets angry, it will bite. Awesome…oh wait. In addition, untreated bites contribute to nerve damage, muscle paralysis, and damage to the brain.

Terciopelo Viper

Typically found in the neotropical rainforest in Central America – the Terciopelo Viper grows up to 8 feet long and has a head 4 inches wide. Ew? Freaky? Weird? All of the above? Yeah, we’d say so! In addition, in all of Central America, these slimy animals are responsible for the majority of snakebites. If we forget, their venom contains hemotoxins that lead to death if left to be treated. So, how about an extension to your health insurance coverage?
