- Name : Expecteria Trouserius (Trouser Snake)
- Location : Throughout the world
- Description :
- One eyed with mushroom-shaped head (other types come with extra layers of skin)
- Varying from pink to black. Fang-less with a highly venomous spit (spit can reach distances up to 2-3 feet)
- Size varies from 3-12 inches depending on its mood and sub-species.
- Symtoms : This snake attacks mainly women in the lower front abdomen, resulting in inconspicious bump. Then a severe swelling followed by excruciating pain after 9 months. The attack is usually non fatal.
- BEWARE : It has been known to attack men in the rear lower abdomen!
- Habitat : Usually found in bedrooms, but has been known to appear in the most unusual places.
- Antidote : Various types of vaccines available for women. However once the venom is injected into the body only drastic measures will ensure complete recovery. There is no known antidote for men.
- What to do when attacked :
- Tourniquet : Do not apply tourniquet as the venom is too deep in the body to be affected.
- Cutting the wound : This would be completely unnecessary and ineffective as the bleeding will stop after a few weeks anyhow.
- Sucking the wound : This method is the most popular with the victim, but so far has not been reported to have led to any success.
- Searching for antivenom:
- Place for fingers of the right hand arouns the neck of the reptile, with the thumb in the front.
- Grip firmly and move the hand in an upwards and downwards motion.
- This will result in the snake becoming highly aggresive, very rigid and start spitting.
- The time taken for this milking process depends entirely on the milker and the last time the snake attacked. Once milked, the snake should be harmless for about 20 minutes.
- Conclusion : This snake, although very aggresive and active, is not necessary a vermin, and treated with the right respect, makes a wonderful pet!
