Common Krait

Common Krait, aka one of the deadliest surviving snakes. They have almost no neck, growing upwards of three to five feet and with a rather flat head. If you stumble upon one in the daytime, if discovered, it will hide and react slowly. When you run into one at night, though, it’ll bite as soon as it gets upset. Awesome…oh, wait. In addition, untreated bites lead to damage to the nerves, paralysis of the muscles and brain damage.

Typically found in Central America’s neotropical rainforest, the Terciopelo Viper grows up to 8 feet long with a head 4 inches wide. In addition, in all of Central America, these slimy creatures are responsible for the majority of snakebites. Unless we forget, their venom contains hemotoxins that lead to death if left to be treated. So, how about an upgrade to your health insurance coverage?
