Question

snakes that can eat humans in japan?

Answer 1

Common Name: Bushmaster
Scientific Name: Lachesis muta muta
Snake Family: Viperidae
Description: The Bushmaster is the largest Pit Viper in the world. This snake has a triangular shaped head with rough scales. Long and heavy-bodied in shades of brown to pale pink with dark brown or black blotch marking running the length of their bodies.
Characteristics: Caution! Known to aggressively attack, particularly when agitated or startled.
Reproduction: Oviparous (egg bearing) with 4-12 young hatched in the Spring.
Length: 2 - 3.7 meters (Approx. 3 -12 ft)
Habitat Distribution: Tropical forested areas throughout Central and South America including the countries of Brazil, Costa Rica, Guyana, Nicaragua, Panama, Japan and Trinidad



The Bushmaster has earned this fierce reputation, known to aggressively attack man but only few human attacks have been recorded due primarily to the Bushmaster's nocturnal nature. Even if they do attack only occasionally, the Bushmaster is greatly feared by people indigenous to their jungle habitat. Appropriately named in English, the name Bushmaster when translated from Latin means "Brings Silent Death". One of the largest and most dangerous snakes in South America, the Bushmaster is capable of multiple bite strikes, injecting large amount of venom and even the bite of a juvenile Bushmaster can be fatal. In the case of envenomation, a polyvalent Crotalidae Antivenom is recommended and contains all the necessary fractions to neutralize the venoms of all Central and South American species of Lachesis. In their jungle environment, envenomation by a Bushmaster is very serious, sometimes fatal and particularly dangerous to humans. It is important to familiarize yourself with wilderness survival before entering Bushmaster territory because often snake bite victims are miles and miles away from any traditional medical help.

You have to stop watching so many godzilla movies, its true my country was bombed twice, but it is not as if radiation levels are soaring out of control as if to make snakes as big as anacondas. In truth the only snakes here that we have to worry about are called Yamakagashi snakes, they are rear fang tooth snakes similar to coral snakes found in the southwestern United States, and for the most part these snakes are docile enough to handle and about the size of say a corn snake. The only other snakes in Japan that are dangerous are the various species of sea snakes which can be found in Okinawa, again in comparison to say boas, pythons or anacondas, they are relatively small.

Well I live on Kyushu and can honestly say that I've never seen a snake. They have big centipedes here that have a nasty bite though. I don't think a snake would be able to eat a live person unless it was a very large snake and a very small child.
