NAME: Expecteria Trouserius"
(Trouser Snake). LOCATION: Throughout the
world. DESCRIPTION: Varying from
pink to black. Fang-less with a highlyvenomous
spit. Size varies from 3 to
12 inches, depending on its mood & sub-species.
SYMPTOMS: This snake attacks
mainly women in the lower front abdomen, resulting in an inconspicuous
bump. Then a severe swelling followed by excruciating pain after
nine months. The attack is not usually fatal. It has been known
to attack men in the rear lower abdomen, resulting in an incurable disease
and consequent death.
HABITAT: Usually found
in bedrooms, but has been known to appear in the most unusual places.
ANTIDOTE: Various types
of vaccine available for women. However, once the venom is injected
into the body only drastic measures will ensure complete recovery.
There is no known antidote for men.
WHAT TO DO WHEN ATTACKED
TORNIQUE: Do not apply
a tornique as the venom is too deep in the body to be affected.
CUTTING THE WOUND: This
would be completely unnecessary and ineffective as the bleeding will stop
after a few weeks anyhow.
SUCKING THE WOUND: This
method is the most popular with the victim, but so far has not been reported
to have led to any success.
MILKING THE SNAKE: 1. Place four fingers
of the right hand around the neck of the reptile, with the thumb in the
front. 2. Grip firmly and move
the hand in an upwards and downwards motion. 3. This will result in
the snake becoming highly aggressive and start spitting. 4. The time taken for
this milking process depends entirely on themilker
and the last time the snake attacked. 5. Once milked the snake
should be harmless for about 20 minutes.
CONCLUSION This snake, although it
is very aggressive and active, is not necessarily a vermin, and treated
with the right respect, makes a wonderful pet.
