About the question you answered six days ago about touching venom, umm, what about the Golden Lancehead? You know the snake species that live exclusively on an island called “Ilha da Queimada Grande” and is quarantined by the Brazilian Navy?

Golden lanceheads (Bothrops insularis) are not an exception to the rule that venom will not hurt you if it only gets on your skin (no snakes are). In fact, because golden lanceheads live exclusively on an island uninhabited by humans, there are no official reports of people being bitten by them. Bothrops in general is a genus that has venom that can be very deadly for humans, but golden lancehead venom is not especially strange for its genus.

The island where golden lanceheads live is quarantined for two reasons, neither of which have to do with the snakes' venom being unusually potent:

The island is biologically isolated, and golden lanceheads have a relatively large population for such a small island. It's estimated that about 2000-4000 lanceheads live on the island, mostly concentrated to rainforested regions, and human presence on the island might result in contact with the snakes. Any area with a known, concentrated population of venomous snakes is likely to have restricted public access.

Golden lanceheads are critically endangered. That population is all there is, and they are at extreme risk from human persecution.

The island is kept in quarantine mostly to protect the snakes, not the other way around.

thinking Vic would make a hot af naga

#i would say ignore me but not on this this is very important #the pretty snake lady with the gilded scales is talking and you will listen to her #question is would she be based more on the golden lancehead #ie the animal that was a heavy inspiration during her development #and so reliant more on poison to kill #or some constrictor species cos she's large and strong and she's just embracing you #dont worry about the crack of your ribcage as you struggle to breathe #its fine youll be fine #oc rambling #ultimate fantasy...both

Webster

Because this post was getting so long.

Webster bites Sebastian and says he's from Queimada Grande, aka Snake Island, which is in Brazil. He's a pit viper of some kind.

Though Webster doesn't too much look like examples I've seen, his homeland suggests he's a Golden Lancehead viper, which are only found on that island. Wikipedia. Smithsonian. It's a cousin to the Fer-de-Lance viper found on the mainland. According to the Smithsonian article, they evolved from the Jararaca, which some people consider synonymous with the Fer-de-Lance, but Wikipedia has a separate page and species name for it. To me, Webster's strongly zig-zagged sides make me think of the Fer-de-Lance, but 🤷🏻‍♀️. Well, it's got to be a Bothrops, either way. The Golden Lancehead's venomous bite is so potent that it practically melts human flesh, and a victim can be dead within an hour. No wonder Webster is shocked by Sebastian's ability to stay alive, let alone remain standing. We are talking major necrosis, kidney failure, and bleeding to death.

If Webster bit Doll.... 🤔

@amalanexus inquired:

Send “UNF” to pin my muse against the wall with DESIRE (Hamza!)

The moment her back hits the wall, Mukuro lets out a soft gasp, a coy smile pulling on her lips。

Were her hands not pinned above her head, she would have wrapped her arms around him, so she'd do the next best thing and wrap a leg around his waist。
