1 Ophidism by the Green Palmsnake
D. Bruce Means, PhD  Wilderness & Environmental Medicine  Volume 21, Issue 1, Pages (March 2010) DOI: /j.wem Copyright © 2010 Wilderness Medical Society Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Green palmsnake (Phylodryas viridissimus), ∼1.0 m total length, Potaro-Siparuni District, Guyana. Wilderness & Environmental Medicine  , 46-49DOI: ( /j.wem ) Copyright © 2010 Wilderness Medical Society Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Impression of maxillary and palatine teeth of the green palmsnake at the base of my thumb, 1 hour postbite. Entry punctures of the rear fangs are visible as darker wounds. The right rear fang may have punctured my hand more than once. Wilderness & Environmental Medicine  , 46-49DOI: ( /j.wem ) Copyright © 2010 Wilderness Medical Society Terms and Conditions

4 Figure 3 Site of second bite from the same green palmsnake (Phylodryas viridissimus) about 1 hour after first bite (see Figure 1). The snake worked its rear fangs into my finger by pushing its open mouth as far forward as it could and then wriggling its head back and forth to assist puncturing. Wounds bled freely for about 20 seconds. Wilderness & Environmental Medicine  , 46-49DOI: ( /j.wem ) Copyright © 2010 Wilderness Medical Society Terms and Conditions
