Studies on venom and venom apparatus of Fea's viper, Azemiops feae
Toxicon.
1994 Oct.
Abstract
Enzyme activities tested in the venom gland extract of Azemiops feae snake are similar to those of viperine venoms, except that Azemiops venom has no blood clotting, haemorrhagic or myolytic activities. The venom gland exhibits the characteristic feature of a viperine gland, but the fangs possess a ridge at the tip laterally to the venom orifice and a blade-like structure on the back seen only in some opisthoglyphous and Atractaspidae snakes.
