|synonyms_ref=[2] }} Rhabdophis subminiatus, commonly called the red-necked keelback, is a species of highly venomous snake in the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to Asia. DescriptionR. subminiatus has a greenish hue with red and yellow regions near the head. It grows to {{convert|70|to|90|cm|in|round=0.5|abbr=on}} in total length (including tail). Habitat and dietThe red-necked keelback generally lives near ponds, where it consumes frogs and fish.[3] Snakebite and VenomRhabdophis subminiatus is a rear-fanged species and was previously thought to be harmless. However, following one fatal and several near-fatal envenomations, the toxicity of its venom was investigated. As a result, it has recently been reclassified as a dangerous species. Rear-fanged snakes need to bite and hold on, or repeatedly bite, to have any effect on humans. A chewing action facilitates envenomation as the venom ducts open to fangs that are externally grooved (not hollow) and are posterior in the oral cavity.R. subminiatus has enlarged and non-grooved teeth. R. subminiatus has two enlarged teeth in the back of the snake’s jaw. Located in the upper jaw is a gland known as the Duvernoy's glands which produces an extremely venomous secretion.[3]Symptoms caused by venomWhen the snake bites, the salivary venom mixture is not injected, but it flows into the punctures produced by the upper jaw’s rear teeth of R. subminiatus, which can penetrate the skin of humans. The venom from R. subminiatus has been responsible for internal hemorrhaging, including hemorrhaging of the brain. As well as nausea, coagulopathy, and even disseminated intravascular coagulation. Also, when the venom was tested on animals, renal failure was reported. Caution should be taken when dealing with patients who have been bitten by the red-necked keelback snake. There should be no further injury such as injections because this may cause excessive bleeding in the bite victim. Although most human bites from R. subminiatus are involved with the front teeth and do not cause adverse effects, rare bites from the rear fangs can be lethal.[4] SubspeciesTwo subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.[2]
The trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Rhabdophis. EtymologyThe subspecific name, helleri, is in honor of American zoologist Edmund Heller.[5] Geographic rangeThe red-necked keelback can be found in the following areas of the world:[2]
The subspecies R. s. helleri can be found in the following locations:[2]
