It's interesting since the throat inflation is seemingly a shared threat display between the large-eyed tree snake, boomslang and the twig snake too. Makes me wonder if they share close ancesty or if it's a case of convergent evolution.

Boomslang is similar snake as Tiger Keelback in our country Nippon. The differences are the place to live and the taste to chase.

[@LivingZoology]

Oh yeas, those Tiger Keelbacks have a bad reputation, right? Are there some death reported???

[@nobuyakishimoto1713]

Living Zoology People believed that Tiger Keelback was non-venomous snake in Nippon, because it is meek and seldom bite. Also it is a back fanged snake and there were few dead cases before 1970. However dead case in 1972 was confirmed that it was the same case with bite of Boomslang. Therefore Tiger Keelback (Yamakagashi) was acknowledged as venomous snake to the world in 1974. Since then, there were three death reports in 1972, 1982 and 1984. Now there is BS for Tiger Keelback, however it is preproduction and equipped only three points of facilities in Tokyo area. (Japan Snake Center, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Medical Center at Kyorin Univercity) In a summer of 2017, there was a case that elementary school kid was bitten by Tiger Keelback in the area of Osaka. Kid slipped into critical condition and he had symptom of bleeding as Ebola. Of course he recovered by BS conveyed by helicopter. Kid did not know that Tiger Keelback was venomous snake and sought to catch it by his hands. Original Tiger Keelback(Yamakagashi) in Nippon might be colorful and beautiful snake. And it has another venom at its jugular gland for defense from predators. It lives by the lakes or rivers with clear water and eats fish and frogs. it stocks the venom at jugular that is taken in from Japanese Common Toad.

Arboreal snakes often have strong venom. Their prey might escape quickly. Boomslang is the most venomous colubrid in the world and at the top of evolution of this group in this way.

[@dragunovbushcraft152]

Sorry Aussies, The Fierce snake (Oxyuranus microlepidotus, fr. Paramansia), has an estimated lethal dose of venom for an adult male, at 1.1mg. Boomslang (Dispholidus typus) venom is lethal to a healthy human adult, at .75mg.

[@YZF_R1Yamaha]

Right if I had a choice between a fierce snake bite and a Boomslang, I’d take the fierce snake every time. It’s not just mg of venom it’s what’s the likelihood of surviving the bite, what are the symptoms etc. nobody’s ever succumbed to a Fierce snakebite that we know of. Can’t say the same for Boomslangs. But neither are really dangerous to people since bites are extremely rare. The only ones I know of that have been bitten by Fierce snakes are(foolish)herpetologists trying to catch them or keeping them at home.

I told him, if the Brown snakes venom was as toxic as a Coral snakes venom, with the temperament a Brown snake has, Few people would survive a bite. Coral snake venom is lethal to an adult human at 2mg, it's pre-synaptic, and is slow to show symptoms. Once symptoms do show, death follows rapidly.
